This recipe takes inspiration from a traditional Greek Salad. Feta, onion, tomato, cucumber, and a wonderfully easy and tasty dressing, all sitting atop a crispy Italian style roll.

Hope you all enjoy!



**Note: I am not a huge fan of black olives but feel free to add some to really give it tat Greek Salad feel!
           You can really use any kind of roll so long as it lies flat on both ends.
            Remember; the broiler is VERY HOT and things go from brown to black in seconds. I barely made it out in time. Keep a watchful eye on your buns :P

GREEK SALADSCHETTA

Prep Time: 15 Min

Cook Time: 5 Min

1.     Combine in a small mixing bowl the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, feta, and fresh parsley. Toss and set aside.

 

2.     Preheat oven to 500 F on Broil.

 

3.     Halve the rolls and slice off the rounded part of the top portion of the roll so it lies flat. Drizzle each slice with EVOO and broil approximately 5 minutes.

** Keep your eyes on the bread as it browns very quickly and burns even faster.

 

4.     Combine all ingredients for dressing and whisk together. Pour over veggies half at a time, stirring in between.

 

5.     Top each crispy piece of bread with a heaping Tbsp. of the salad. (Use your fingers as well to arrange  it)

 

Serve right away.
