CHOPPED GREEK


SALAD


While your corner pizza shop or deli might sell an iceberg
lettuce salad topped with olives, tomatoes, cucumber, and
feta cheese as “Greek,” a true Greek salad is a lettuce-
free chopped salad lightly dressed in a lemony vinaigrette.
This is one of my favorite late-summer side dishes, when
tomatoes are at the height of awesomeness.


SERVES 4


8 ounces grape tomatoes, cut in half (about 2 cups)
1 large cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise-seeded, and
cut into ½-inch dice (about 2 cups)
