Greek Salad Pita
Created by Chef Ally
The beloved Greek salad tucked into warm, charred pita: ripe summer tomatoes, crisp cucumber, briny Kalamata olives, and generous crumbles of feta dressed simply with oregano and good olive oil.
A Greek salad does not need a recipe. It needs a farmer. Find someone growing tomatoes that smell like summer and taste like the sun concentrated itself into fruit. Find a cucumber with actual crunch. Find feta made from sheep's milk that crumbles into rich, salty pieces. Then do almost nothing.
Tucking this salad into warm pita turns it into something you can eat standing at the counter, walking through the garden, or sitting on a blanket at the park. The bread catches the juices. The warm pita against the cool vegetables makes every bite interesting. It is honest food, the kind of thing you throw together when the market has given you everything you need.
Every meal is a meaningful choice. This one says you believe good bread and ripe tomatoes are enough. They are.
