Greek Farmers Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
Greek Farmers Salads were one of my favorite things to eat in Greece. Loaded with bright red tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, feta, and really good olives this salad helped me learn that fresh ingredients don't need a lot of dressing up to be delicious. This Greek Farmers Salad uses fresh heirloom tomatoes, instead of the rock solid grocery store ones, to help create that same feeling of freshness and to bring loads of delicious flavor. This is a great late summer side dish when everything in the garden is starting to ripen.
