Zombra The Greek Salad

I had the opportunity to attend the Caring Place Community Kitchen in the month of August. I had not been to this kitchen for a long time.

This kitchen started with a Greek Salad. The dressing was really nice.

  • 1 large red onion, coarsely diced
  • 2 long cucumbers, unpeel, cut into 1/2″ cubes

Gently toss together the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, lettuce and peppers.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, salt, mint leaves, oregano, thyme, sugar, olive oil and vinegar.
