The fresh flavors of Greece, mint, lemon, tomato and feta. Heavenly and always perfect for summer, either as a fabulous side dish or as a great lunch.
I made this as a side dish to go with a great spaghetti that I will share with you tomorrow. Em devoured it! She loved every bite of it and she is only 17 months old. Mr. W on the other hand would never eat anything with salad in the name, so I made enough for the two of us as a side dish.

Greek Caprese Salad
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced thick

- course sea salt, to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Lay sliced tomatoes on a serving dish, sprinkle with sea salt.
- Scatter feta over tomatoes. Grind pepper over top. Pour olive oil over tomatoes and then squeeze lemon over the top.

Tomatoes are a definite staple in the summer and I love the Greek accent!
I have never had tomatoes this way. I am always looking for new ways to prepare my tomatoes as I always have so many when my vines start to ripen. Thanks! these look fantastic 🙂
Oh, Donna, this looks like a fabulous twist on the Italian caprese! Can't wait to try your recipe with some garden tomatoes 🙂
