在将黄瓜和西红柿打成一个空的碗中,并在成品上撒上碎羊毛蛋糕之间的某个地方,发生了一种未知的炼金术,将这种碗的生蔬菜变成了如此强大的饭菜,几乎不需要一个名字:希腊沙拉。(Its Greek name, horiatiki salata, isn’t much more creative; it roughly translates to “village salad.”) Simplicity is this dish’s greatest strength, and its limited ingredient list allows you to savor each vegetable in a way we are so rarely invited to appreciate produce. Olive oil, spices, and cheese bring it all together at the end, as only those three powerhouses can. The final result is a crunchy and satisfying meal that you don’t need an oven, stove, microwave, or any sort of heat source to prepare. Why would you even bother learning a second salad recipe?
