Dakos salad

About this recipe:

Everyone knows and loves traditional Greek salad — fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, oregano and huge chunks of feta cheese — what’s not to love? But our favorite "Greek salad" in the Kosterina household is called Dakos salad. It’s a bread-based salad and is commonly served in southern Greece.

Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe tomatoes
  • 4 barley rusks (but you can also use dried whole wheat bread if the rusks are hard to come by)
  • 5 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp ricotta cheese, or if you can get a hold of it, myzithra (optional)
  • 10-15 Kalamata olives
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 8 tbsp Kosterina EVOO
  • 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • Oregano

Directions

  1. Place the rusks or dried bread in a bowl and sprinkle with water to soften. 
  2. Cut into 1/2 to 1 inch chunks.  Chop tomatoes into 1 inch pieces and add to bowl.  
  3. Add feta, myzithra, olives and capers.  
  4. Add olive oil, vinegar and mix together.  
  5. Top with oregano.
