Greek Salad with Feta cheese Bruschetta

Hello foodies friends,

We have all at some point either at an Italian restaurant or a party tasted the Italian Bruschetta.  Bruschetta or Crostini breads are very similar, made with tomatoes and basil, and a few other ingredients but have you ever come across a Greek Salad and Feta Cheese Bruschetta?  A perfect mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, and feta cheese which are now in peak season.  I picked up some delicious cherry tomatoes along with cucumbers, onions, and a few more things to make a Greek Salad.  On my way home I was thinking that I wanted to make an appetizer rather than the regular salad.

I had some leftover Ciabatta bread and no I did not bake it.  Who wants to cook in this heat!!  I bought it from our local bakery that actually makes delicious Artistic Bread.   So, I prepared the Greek salad without the onions and olives.  I left out the onions and olives because I wanted the flavors and aromas of the ingredients to stand out.  Onions, traditionally are in a Greek (Choriatiki) salad as I am sure most of you know who have visited Greece.  This is a very simple and refreshing appetizer to serve to your family, and friends, at a party, or even prepare these mini-size Greek salads with Feta Cheese bruschettas and take with you on a picnic or to the beach to snack on.

As far as which bread to use you can use whichever bread.  For this appetizer, I prefer Ciabatta bread, but most people like to use Baguettes.  I toasted the bread slices in my toaster, it’s a quicker solution, and then I brushed olive oil on both sides and topped it with the Greek Salad mix.   I could say that this Greek Salad with Feta Cheese Bruschetta is a bit of both Greece and Italy.

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening everyone!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
