MACEDONIAN SALAD

This is a salad I learned 15 years ago from a man of Macedonian descent. The dressing makes a nice dressing on any Greek salad

1/3 cucumber - sliced thin
1/2 tomato - sliced thin wedges (the juice from the tomato is essential here - choose ripe tomatoes)
1/2 green pepper (sliced thin)
full red pepper (also sliced thin)
1/2 red onion (thin, again)

a bed of cabbage. mixed green and purple cabbage may be used. This is to be shredded.


Dressing (toss the first five ingredient and place on the cabbage)

equal parts: olive oil and red wine vinegar
a clove of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

There is a point where this dressing seems balanced - you'll be able to smell it.

If desired, add Greek herbs to the dressing. Thyme, oregano, and basil all work well. I prefer it with a little extra garlic.

Top with Feta cheese, crumbled.
