In a large flat salad dish, or plate combine sliced vegtables with olives and tomato wedges. Lay slice of feta on top and drizzle with olive oil, squeeeze lemon over that and sprinkle with oregano or thyme and salt and pepper. Alternately, the feta can be cubed or crumbled.


In Crete, the salad is often accompanied by an Italian or French type baton of bread which is used to mop up the leftover olive oil.Any great salad recipes?
