On Friday it was hot here, probably close to 100F. Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter so there is very little actual cooking going on. Nonetheless we were able to make a dinner that we all enjoyed.
My Greek salad started with a layer of assorted lettuces and herbs (fresh oregano and mint), then there was a layer of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, feta, pepperoncini, and olives. This was all dressed simply with olive oil and vinegar. In the center I put a scoop of hummus with jalapeños and served whole wheat pita on the side.
I put all the components out like a buffet and each of us fashioned our own salads. I find doing it this way makes everyone happy. When dinner was over there was not a scrap left.
