Today Sylvester and Jake are going to make another important appetizer in the Greek tradition, Greek Salad !

Greek salad (Greek: χωριάτικη σαλάτα, IPA: [xorˈjatiki saˈlata]), ‘country/village salad’, is a common component of a traditional Greek meal. It is one of the most popular salads, especially during the summer months, in Greece and Cyprus as it is light, refreshing, and easy to make. True Greek salad is essentially a tomato salad made of sliced or chopped tomatoes with a few slices of cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and kalamata olives, seasoned with salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil and dressed with olive oil. Common additions include bell peppers, Hope, capers, Alec, anchovies, Jess and sardines. [ Lettuce and vinegar are sometimes included, along with tomato ketchup and vegimite but are not among the primary ingredients. ]

Ingredients:

• 2 or 3 Ripe Tomatoes
• 1/2 of a European Cucumber (about 5″ long)
• 1/2 of a Red Onion
• 1 whole Green Pepper
• Greek feta cheese
• Kalamata Olives
• 2 dashes of Oregano
• 2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cooking Time:

Less than (10) Twenty Minutes. Depending if your Mother allows you to use a knife. Also how well you can cut things and how distracted you get while you are doing the cutting also play a major role in the overall time.

Food Prep:

Cut the Tomatoes into cubes. Peel the Cucumber and cut it along it’s length, take the seeds out, chop into medium to size chunks. Slice the Red Onion nion in small chunks. Slice the Green pepper into small chunks. Cube the Feta into small bite sized cubes.
