Ok my favorite is this:<br />salad:<br />-1 red bell pepper, bite sized pieces<br />-1 yellow bell pepper, bite sized pieces<br />-1/2 red onion, half moon slices<br />-15 (or so) kalamata olives<br />-1 cucumber, seeded, bite sized pieces <br />-1 pint cherry tomatoes<br />-4 oz feta cheese<br /><br />vinaigrette:<br />2 cloves garlic, minced <br />1 teaspoon dried oregano <br />1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard <br />1/4 cup good red wine vinegar <br />1 teaspoon salt <br />1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper <br />1/2 cup good olive oil<br /><br />crutons:<br />1 small French bread (or whatever is on sale!!), cut into 1-inch cubes (6 cups) <br />Kosher salt<br />Olive oil<br /><br />Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the bread cubes and sprinkle with salt; cook over low to medium heat, tossing frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Add more olive oil as needed.<br /> <br /><br /><br />Place the cucumber, red pepper, yellow pepper, tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl.<br /> <br /><br /><br />For the vinaigrette, whisk together the garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a small bowl. While still whisking, add the olive oil and make an emulsion. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables. Add the feta, olives and bread cubes and mix together lightly. Set aside for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature. <br /><br />Mmmm soo tasty! I sometimes add chicken to make it a full dinner instead of just a side :)Caitlyn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683200259453317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949614731237417456.post-4198565617040627432012-08-01T07:58:22.618-07:002012-08-01T07:58:22.618-07:00I LOVE this.
