Greek Bread Salad (Dakos)
Taken from my “Favorites” folder!
Plan ahead the veggie mixture must sit for about 40 minutes or a little longer at room temperature before servings so grill the bread while the veggie mixture is sitting, and the bread must sit until fairly hard after grilling, after you top the bread with the veggie mixture it must be served immediately
Servings
INGREDIENTS
1 crusty Greek-style bread, sliced into 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick slices (can use French or Italian bread)
1 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing on bread
salt, fresh ground black pepper and garlic powder
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 small garlic cove, minced (can omit if desired)
1 large English cucumbers, peeled, quartered and cut into 1/2-inch dice (or use 2 small)
2 large ripe tomatoes, finelychopped
1 red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced or chopped (the white part of green onions works well also)
crumbled feta cheese (use as much as you like)
INSTRUCTIONS:————————————-
Preheat the grill.
Brush the bread with olive oil on both sides, then season with salt pepper and garlic powder.
Grill bread on both sides until lightly golden brown.
Remove the bread to a platter and let sit at room temperature to get slightly hard.
Meanwhile in a large; bowl whisk together 1 cup olive oil with fresh lemon juice, dill, and garlic, then season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and feta into the oil mixture and let stand at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
Spoon the mixture over the grilled bread slices.
Drizzle with more olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately.
