Country Style Salad
Ingredients:
4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled if desired
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Coarse sea salt to taste
1 large English cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into half-moons
1 medium bell pepper, any color, roasted and skinned, seeds wiped off, and cut lengthwise into thin slices
Large handful of purslane or watercress, sprigs only, or a small handful of arugula or young romaine lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
1 1/3 cups feta cheese, drained, and crumbled into large pieces
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
12 Greek black olives such as kalamatas or Thasos, drained
6 to 8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (to taste)
Finely cracked pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dried Greek oregano, crumbled
Directions:
Using a small, sharp knife, core the tomatoes and cut into wedges. Sprinkle with sugar and salt, and set aside.
In a large bowl, gently combine the cucumber, bell pepper slices, and purslane.
Transfer to a serving platter, and scatter over the tomatoes, feta cheese, onion, and olives. Pour over the olive oil, and sprinkle with pepper, oregano, and more salt if desired.
