NOTES : 6 servings/Serving size: 1/6 recipe To many, this is known as kalokerini salata, a Greek summer salad. For others, it is a colorful salad that may have first been tasted in a local Greek restaurant. It is wonderful and easy to make, especially when garden vegetables are at their prime. For best results, always use feta cheese and Kalamata olives.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”

~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
