Dakos Salad
15 minutes · 4 servings · vegetarian
Dakos is a classic Cretan salad; barley rusks are traditional, though any sturdy toasted bread works in a pinch.
Ingredients
Check you have the quantities below.
- 4 Cretan barley rusks
- 3 cups ripe tomatoes, grated or finely chopped
- 1 cup feta, crumbled
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
- 1/4 tsp salt
Let’s make it
- Place the rusks on plates and lightly dampen them with a few spoons of water so they soften slightly.
- Top with the tomatoes and their juices.
- Add feta, capers, oregano, salt, and olive oil.
- Serve right away while the rusks still have some texture.
For kids, serve the toppings on the side so they can build their own plate.
