Maroulosalata (Classic Greek Lettuce Salad) image

Another recipe which I found in Greek chef and restaurateur Theodore Kyriakou's 'real greek food', which he co-authored with food writer Charles Campion. So simple, so delicious and so quintessentially Greek! A really quick to make, fabulous side dish to serve with grilled meat and fish dishes, or with pasta and rice dishes. This recipe - for a classic lettuce salad - is from the island of Cos and, apparently, "from everywhere else in Greece"! When you come across a recipe like this one, you cannot be in the least surprised that Kyriakou maintains that "the term "Greek Salad" is one of the most abused in the world".

This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.

I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese, but I loved it in this salad. It added a nice salty flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes and cucumbers.
