"My German father-in-law loves to vacation in Greece," relates Jerry Lappin of Garden City, Kansas. "After a stay on the sunny beaches of Rhodes, he game me the recipe for this zesty salad, full of fresh tomatoes, red onion, green pepper, ripe olives and feta cheese. I like to serve it for a light lunch with sourdough, French or Italian bread."

Kale has higher antioxidants then most vegetables and fruits. One cup provides nearly the same amount of vitamin C as an orange. Kale is high in lutein, and an excellent source of vitamin K. Adapted from Food & Wine magazine.

GREEK TOMATO SALAD

Greek Tomato Salad image

The Greek approach to a good tomato salad, whether it has cucumbers and lettuce or not (this one doesn't), is all about keeping it simple. Sweet, ripe summer tomatoes, salt and olive oil are all you need. The flourishes here - green pepper, red onion, chopped mint and pinch of oregano - are optional, but they add brightness. Good Greek feta cheese takes it over the top.

GREEK TOMATO SALAD

Greek Tomato Salad image

This is a common and colorful side dish for our summer cookouts. It's such a hit that I get complaints if I don't make it. Even the youngsters love this mix of fresh vegetable and light dressing! Regular black olives can be substituted for the Greek olives if you don't care for their flavor.

Tips:

Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for tomatoes that are firm, juicy, and have a deep red color.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Too much dressing will drown out the flavors of the tomatoes and kale.
Let the salad rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Serve the salad with a side of pita bread or crackers: This will provide a delicious way to scoop up the tomatoes and dressing.
