Sometimes simplicity isn’t so simple. A recipe with just a few easily prepared ingredients nevertheless demands care with the quality to make it truly shines.
Take the Greek salad, for example. In Greece, that’s horiatiki (xoriatiki), meaning “village salad,” a hint at its ubiquity. It’s a delicious, healthful dish with the bounty of a summer garden at its heart. While recipes may vary just a bit, as will the proportions, it’s worth taking the time to get those ingredients just right.
