Drowning in Onions

I made the most delicious Greek Salad last night ... or rather, the recipe has been delicious in the past. I got the recipe from InStyle magazine (of all places) and it makes a great easy cost-effective healthy salad.

Easy Greek Salad Recipe

4 Vine Ripened Tomatos, seeded and cubed
1 English Cucumber, cubed
8 ounces Kalamata Olives, cut in half
1 Red Onion, chopped
4 - 8 ounces Feta Cheese Crumbles
1 Tablespoon minced fresh Oregeno
2 ounces Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Directions: Add everything together. Stir well. Eat. This keeps for a few days and tastes even better on Day 2 and 3 as everything marinates together.

The whole thing is a lot of food prep if you don't have a Cuisinart (I don't. Mom and Dad, if you're reading this, maybe that would be a good birthday present?) But, it's a delicious recipe. I even shopped at the local organic store yesterday and all of the produce was farm fresh and locally sourced.

I've made this salad before and it was a huge hit. So, though I was crying profusely by the time the onions were chopped, I tossed them all in.

For future reference, onions can be different strengths!? Who knew!?! Locally grown, fresh, organic red onions are way stronger than the onions I normally buy in the produce section of my grocery store. So, we picked out 75% of the onions and the recipe was back to balance and delicious.
