Years ago, when I had a desk job, I was quite good about bringing lunch to work. I didn’t have a lot of money, and a homemade lunch was also healthier. I think I would have never eaten out had it not been for the Greek salad at a tiny, nearby café. It was the best Greek salad I have ever eaten. It had a simple oil and vinegar dressing, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and olives. Plus, it was always served with a slice of freshly baked, warm bread. To this day, I have never been able to replicate the salad, and no Greek salad in any restaurant has even come close to “my lunch salad.”
The other day, I felt a bit nostalgic and made my own version of “my lunch salad.” It wasn’t as good as the original, but it was nevertheless very satisfying.
