Ingredients
1 Dako (barley rusk), toasted whole grain bread may be substituted
2 tomatoes
1/4 of a red onion, finely chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Feta cheese (about 1/4 cup)
2 Kalamata olives, sliced and pitted
dried oregano
sea salt
capers
White Balsamic vinegar
Optional:
bell pepper slices
Instructions
If using toasted bread, do not wet it at all.
Begin by dipping the rusk in water. Do this quickly so that the rusk moistens but does not soak in the water. The flavor should come from the tomatoes and olive oil, not the water.
Place the moistened rusk on a plate.
Grate one of the tomatoes using a box grater and chop the other.
Drizzle some olive oil over the rusk.
Top with the grated tomato. Season with some sea salt.
Place the chopped tomato over the grated and season with more sea salt.
Crumble the feta cheese on top and garnish with the sliced olives.
Top with the onion and capers.
Drizzle generously with more olive oil, vinegar, and add the dried oregano on top.
Eat this as soon as possible.
Enjoy!!

Thank you, Dimitra.
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🍃🥀🍃🥀🍃🥀💙💚🧡💛🤎
Yum. I’ll use Dutch tusks as they’re most available to me.
Thank you for the recipe. So delicious. One of my favorite Crete foods! What do you call that rusk in Greek?
This looks so yummy. May ask a question. I am still uncertain as far as olive oils are concerned. Die you perchance know Illiada and Sapfo. I look for extra virgin oil and a date when it has been Made, filled up and the expiration date. Do you know these brands? What so you recommend paying attention top when buying the oil?
This looks so good, definitely going to try. You look pretty, love your dress.
Looks great…I'm wondering about the rusk and how soft it should be, and I'm wondering if refrigeration makes a difference?
This looks so fresh! Yum yum! Love the outfit, too!
Mmmm that looks SO Delicious
Just fyi – I just saw myzithra cheese at my local Vons (Safeway, Albertsons) grocery store in Southern CA!
I used to find them in titan in Astoria. by the way they moving in another area
Tomatoes onCrete are the best.
I have always wondered how food was like before the Great Columbian Exchange.
Because tomatoes are from Central America, not really Greek. Same for chillies, potatoes, corn and on and on
Can you imagine Chinese or Indian food without chillies?
Can you use manouri?
Just back from the Greek Islands. Had this for the first time just yummy with the special cheese.
Thank you I love Crete. I lived and worked there for six months. 💚🤘
That is Sicilian , pure Sicilian.
Tomatoes arrived to Greece 200 years after than Sicily.
C’mon Dimitra!!!
LOL…
This looks fab. It's obviously the Greek version of the very similar Palestinian tomato and dry bread salad called fatoush.
Maryland tomatoes are great too.
Thank you for sharing this delicious simple recipe. I bought the rusks you use and they are really so tasty when they soak up the juices from the tomatoes and olive oil. ❤❤
I love παξιμάδια! I know those Cretan ones as well and I am so hungry to try this! My mother was from Kythira- but born in Australia, and when I have visited there they eat these flour and olive oil paximathia every morning with coffee- I got so used to eating that..
Have you already made tiropita? Can you make it if you haven't? I just found your channel..
