It is likely the standard Greek and middle eastern treatment..... one
part lemon juice and two parts olive oil, salt, pepper, chopped garlic
and some oregano.

I'll pass on the greens. One recipe I would like is probably in my
mother's recipe book, which my brother has. My mother and her mother
used to make oatmeal cookie sandwiches with date filling. The date
filling is simple enough. The oatmeal cookie dough was made in advance,
cooled for a while, then rolled out and cut in rounds. They could be
eaten on their own, but were infinitely better as sandwiches with either
date filling or raspberry jam.
