SALAD WITH ANCHOVY-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Salad With Anchovy-Mustard Vinaigrette image

Anchovies add a salty depth of flavor to this bright, garlicky salad dressing. Here it's tossed with radicchio and arugula, but it will work on any full-flavored salad greens. Try it on frisée, spinach or raw baby kale. If you want to make this in a blender, double the quantities so the dressing emulsifies properly. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

TRADITIONAL GREEK SALAD RECIPE

Traditional Greek Salad Recipe image

Simple traditional Greek Salad with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, olives and creamy feta cheese.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 medium red onion
4 Medium juicy tomatoes
1 English cucumber (hot house cucumber) (partially peeled making a striped pattern)
1 green bell pepper (cored)
Greek pitted Kalamata olives (a handful to your liking)
kosher salt (a pinch)
4 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Blocks of Greek feta cheese (do not crumble the feta, leave it in large pieces)
1/2 tbsp dried oregano

Steps:

Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons. (If you want to take the edge off, place the sliced onions in a solution of iced water and vinegar for a bit before adding to the salad. I do this in the video).
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks (I sliced some into rounds and cut the rest in wedges).
Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves (at least 1/2" in thickness)
Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.
Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of pitted kalamata olives.
Season very lightly with kosher salt (just a pinch) and a bit of dried oregano.
Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar all over the salad. Give everything a very gentle toss to mix (do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be handled too much).
Now add the the feta blocks on top and add a sprinkle more of dried oregano.
Serve with crusty bread.

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the salad will be.
Choose a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese is a key ingredient in Greek salad, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a feta cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a slightly tangy flavor.
Don't skimp on the olive oil. Olive oil is another essential ingredient in Greek salad. It helps to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients and gives the salad a rich, satisfying texture.
Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as oregano, basil, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to Greek salad. If you have some on hand, be sure to add them to your salad.
Don't overdress the salad. Greek salad is a simple dish, and it's important not to overdress it. A little bit of olive oil and vinegar is all you need to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.

Conclusion:

Greek salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give Greek salad a try.
