his Greek Salad

Of course he has his own way of doing everything, and cooking cannot be an exception. He thinks about the experience of eating and attacks the little irritants. Croutons that shatter when you fork them? Simple -- crush them and put them in the oil first. Problem solved. Crispy bits with each bite of salad.

So he got this idea about how to do Greek salad, and I can never get enough. He puts all the good stuff together in a bowl, lets it marinate together a bit, and then -- at room temp, of course -- you just spoon it over chunks of cucumber and tomatoes, and red onion slices. What's in the bowl? Kalamata olives, rough chopped, sliced pepperoncinis and plenty of them, herbs (oregano and fresh dill, with a little thyme), chunks of creamy feta, all covered in yummy olive oil.

Just look, you'll see what I mean:

When the tomatoes are good and fragrant, and the
cucumbers are sweet and crisp, and the red onions are
thinly sliced with their own crunch...and then you
spoon this luscious stuff on top? HEAVEN.
