Greek Dakos Salad
Our Messino aromatic white wine vinegar with Greek oregano is an ideal match to this traditional Cretan appetizer. The fresh herbal aroma is perfectly combined with juicy tomatoes, capers, and original Greek olive oil and creates the perfect topping for the Cretan rusks.
Υλικά
- 2 round barley rusks (any type will do)
- 3 peeled tomatoes
- Olive oil
- 30 gr Messino white wine vinegar with oregano
- Fresh oregano
- 1 pinch of sugar
- salt
- 150 gr Feta cheese
- 50 gr capers
Οδηγίες
- Wash the tomatoes and carefully peel them off
- Add in the blender one tomato with the olive oil, Messino vinegar with oregano, sugar, salt, and fresh oregano and slightly blend them
- Chop the remaining two tomatoes, trying to save their liquids in a bowl
- Mix the chopped tomatoes with the tomato blend you created
- Add the rusks to a large plate and drizzle with olive oil. Carefully pour the tomato mix over the rusks
- Garnish with some grated feta cheese, and some capers, and drizzle with some Messino white wine vinegar with oregano for extra aroma
Tips
- In case you do not have Cretan round-shaped rusks, you can use any type of rusk and break them into smaller pieces
- If you find rusks too tough to chew, avoid using water to make them softer. Keep the juice coming from the tomatoes and let the rusks soak in the juice for some time before serving
- Do skip sugar in the recipe, since it is necessary for balancing the acidity of the tomatoes
