A Walk With Christ

In addition to the great spirit we were able to feel last night, I thought I'd share this salad recipe while I'm still thinking about it.

I bet this photo would have turned out better if I didn't have Zachary trying to eat my phone. I didn't even get a great shot of the "Salata Choban". (my rendition of biblical food) So here it goes: I will just tell you in advance that I am pretty picky when it comes to this salad. So picky that I don't like it diced up. I like it chopped using a food processor. (I use the pampered chef food chopper) I think it makes the flavors blend better together.

Salata Choban (Shepherd's Salad)

2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced

2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded diced

2 green peppers, seeded, chopped finely

3 green onions, white part only

1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped.

2. oz crumbled feta cheese (may want more...I don't like a strong feta taste)

Dressing:

6 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/4 C olive oil

salt/ pepper to taste

Mix and refrigerate. Serve with pita bread.

This all comes about because I love Turkish food and usually live far from a Turkish restaurant. Remind me to post my favorite chicken kabab marinade, borek, and pita bread recipe!

The hummus I'm pretty picky about, too. I usually make my own, but since I found this brand I just buy it. It is Sabra brand, roasted garlic flavor. (I don't love the Atheno's brand for hummus.) I found it at Weis, where you get the special cheese and meats. I've also seen it at Sams, in Ohio. (Haven't checked here.)
