Directions

  1. This dish is easy to make and a big hit full of flavor, the trick is to shop for the best ingredients possible at a good grocery story. If you get good produce then the rest is cake.Watch your fingers with this one as it's all slicing and chopping with a sharp knife.You'll need a big serving/mixing salad bowl.Prepare all the above items and then mix/toss.Enjoy with loads of red wine, pita, hummus, grilled chicken kabobs, basmati rice, and endlessly silly dancing with fun Greek friends. Don't even THINK about adding lettuce to this recipe, you'll blow it you silly American! :).This dish serves four but I usually make it for groups of 20 so just time 5 and it works great! Same with the wine.
