Getting back to the olives

As i was saying earlier, the vegetable salad was a great hit. It is a simple one hope you like it too. I do not have a picture of it to host but the following is the recipe:

Green greek salad

Tomato - 2 medium size ripe and cut into cubes
Cucumber - 1 medium size cut into wedges
Green capsicum - 2 medium size cut into rings
Green Olives - 20 (if they are seedless cut into halves)
Coriander or cilantro - 1 small bunch chopped finely

For the garnish

Juice of 2 medium size lemons
1 Minced garlic pod
olive oil - 1 tsp
salt and pepper to taste

Method

Wash and cut all the salad vegetables as mentioned. Remove the seeds from the tomatoes, capsicums and the cucumber. Toss them into a bowl. In a small bowl take the lemon juice, add the other ingredients for the dressing, mix them well. Pour into the bowl which contains the salad. toss well and refregirate till serving time.

When did this interest start in me? I would say around 4 years back. From a trip to Athens my husband got me a bottle of green olives. The bottle looked nice and the fresh green olives in brine looked very colorful. But i had my doubt will they use it in vegetarian cooking. The bottle found its place in my fridge and remained safe and sound there. A month later i found it disgusting that i could not do anything with it. So i sat down and browsed for a easy vegetarian recipe. Voila! i did find one that was very simple and easy. Though i had my doubts i tried it and it was really very good. Soon i tried it out with every one i knew my friends, my father in law and of course my parents. Got a very positive response which set me experimenting even more.
