Greek Layered Salad

tomatoes thinly sliced
unpeeled cucumber thinly sliced
sweet onion thinly sliced in rings
green bell pepper thinly sliced in rings
red or yellow bell pepper thinly sliced in rings
raw unpeeled zuchinni thinly sliced (opt)
kalamata olives pitted & sliced
fresh basil (cut chiffonade)
red wine vinegar
evoo
salt & pepper (and a breath of sugar if you like)
crumbled feta cheese (opt)

Make layers of everything in a clear glass bowl: a single layer of
tomatoes, a single layer of cucumbers, single layer of peppers/onions/
zuchinni etc. Drizzle with a little evoo and vinegar; sprinkle with a
little salt, pepper, basil and feta.

Repeat layers of veggies and seasonings until you run out of veggies
or the bowl is full - whichever comes first. Cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate at least one hour (but not more than two or three).
If you want garlic in there, smash a clove and drop it into the evoo
or vinegar. Let it sit while you slice all those damned vegetables!
Serve with big spoon - slotted if you wish.

I could live on this and have been known to drink the liquid that's
left in the bowl after the salad is gone.
