I used to make this Greek salad at the “Souvlaki Stand” on the island of Corfu. To this day, it remains my favorite summer salad. It’s classic. It’s simple. It can be a meal or a side. It’s the epitome of summer vegetables in their simple glory.

    Sounds so yummy! AND there’s a farmer’s market today, I’ve got a couple of left-over pitas, so I know what lunch is going to be today! Thank you.

    LOVE your recipes! I made the sticky-spicy eggplant and the quinoa and pasta salad and they were amazing. I love Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, so I guess I am in the right place… :)
