[recipe*] Greek Salad ~ here's an idea sweetcat

[Guest guest]

This salad is delicious and it makes a lovely

presentation at any potluck gathering.

It doesn't call for cucumbers, but you could

easily add them. I do have a cucumber tomato

salad I have made quite a few times that I will

post next.

 

Greek Salad

 

Lettuce leaves

1/2 to 3/4 small head red cabbage, shredded

2 medium carrots, coarsely grated

3/4 pound feta cheese

1 pint whole Kalamata olives

Sliced tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers & cucumbers

1 jar [14.75 oz.] marinated artichoke hearts, drained

1 small cauliflower, broken into florets

Olive oil

Red wine vinegar

Salt & pepper

Basil, fresh or dried

 

Line a large serving platter with lovely lettuce leaves.

In the center of the platter, mound the red cabbage.

Encircle cabbage with carrot shreds. Crumble the

feta cheese over the mound. Surround the mound

with the Kalamata olives. Make 12 stacks that contain

one slice each of the tomato, red onion, bell pepper,

and cucumber, then place these decoratively around

the ring of olives. Around the outside edge place the

cauliflower florets and artichoke hearts. Just before

serving, drizzle with olive oil, vinegar and seasonings.

Sprinkle fresh basil around if you have it, or use a few

shakes of dried basil.

Yield: 8 to 12 servings
