Greek Salad

This salad recipe comes from my travels to Greece. It seemed to be a staple everywhere we went. Check out the fresh ingredients.

4-5 tomatoes 1/2 red onion 1 cucumber calamata olives		In medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and olives. Cut tomatoes into 1-1/2 inch chunks. Thinly slice red onion. Quarter a cucumber the long way, remove the skin, and cut into 1-1/2 inch chunks. Add a handful of calamata olives (preferably with pits).
Zesty Italian dressing		Prepare 1 package of Zesty Italian dressing mix according to directions. Drizzle the dressing over the salad to taste, and toss.
feta cheese basil		Top with 5 oz of feta cheese, sliced. Top with 6-9 leaves of basil, rolled together, then sliced.

This recipe has the flavor of a the Greek Islands and reminds me of the Parthenon in Athens.
