Summer Salad | Salata de Vara
Ingredients:
- Cherry tomatoes
- Green bell pepper
- Ceta cheese
- Cucumber
- Garlic
- Fresh dill
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- One large beef tomato (for presentation)
[Note: proportions for this recipe can be easily adjusted to each and everyone's taste.]
Preparation:
- Dice the cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, and cucumber. Mix and place them in a bowl.
- Cube some feta cheese and add into the mix.
- Slice a few garlic cloves, and add into the mix. You can use onion instead, if you prefer it to garlic.
- Finely chop the fresh dill, and add to the mix.
- Add olive oil, salt (carefully - the feta is already salty) and pepper.
- Mix slightly. We want the flavors to combine, and a bit of mixed juice from the ingredients to form.
Presentation:
- Cut the top off of a large beef tomato. Carve out the interior (can be used in the salad too, instead of the cherry tomatoes).
- Place the salad inside, and serve.

I cook to relax, to make family and friends happy, to recreate favorite dishes I've enjoyed in the past, or to discover new concoctions. I use my creativity to prepare authentic Romanian and Eastern-European dishes with ingredients easily found in grocery stores outside of this geographic area. I put emphasis on flavor and ease of preparation. I find joy in knowing that others have a chance to try out some of these recipes. I'd love to hear back your thoughts on my posts: my email is liviutzu@gmail.com. Don't be a stranger. :)
