I love traditional Greek salad but on a work trip to Athens last year I discovered this salad originating from the Greek island of Crete. This salad is quite like a normal Greek salad but also has salad leaves and stale bread soaked in olive oil. I am submitting this to my no waste food challenge as a suggestion for using up stale bits of bread.
I love visiting Greece, the food and scenery are lovely and the people are really friendly. Make up this salad and image you are on a pretty, sunny, Greek island.

To begin with soak the stale bread in olive oil, stack on some salad leaves and then make up the rest of your Greek salad with olives, feta, cucumber and tomatoes. Typically you would also add red onions but I missed them out as didn't have any. I served my salad with balsamic vinegar and extra olive oil.
May's no waste food challenge is focussing on recipe suggestion to use up leftover bread. Do join in and submit a recipe idea.
