Salads & starters

  The Greek salad
        is a cool summer dish
        that goes well with any
        kind of meat. It can be
        eaten as a full lunch by
        itself as it is very filling.
        If you take out the feta
        it is suitable for a low
        calories diet but it
        doesn't taste the same.

  In general the
        Greek salad can be
        altered in many ways
        according to taste but
        there are a few ingre-
        dients one cannot use
        or it won't be a Greek
        salad anymore. Don't
        use lettuce, carrots,
        cabbage, lemon or
        lemon juice, vinegar or
        any kind of sauce or
        anything baked or
        boiled.

Sometimes people
        use green tomatoes
        but red juicy ones
        make a better sauce.
        Actually the sauce
        the oil and the tomato
        make is the secret of
        the succesful Greek
        salad. For that reason
        feta is very important.
