"Turkish" Salad
 

This isn't much of a recipe, but a good combination of flavors, especially when it's warm and there are good tomatoes to be had. Try it scooped up with soft warm pita bread

Ingredients

Tomatoes, chopped
Onions, chopped
Cucumbers, peeled, seeded & chopped
Parsley, chopped
Olive Oil
Fresh lemon juice
Feta cheese, cubed or crumbled (optional)
Salt

Instructions

  1. Mix together the tomatoes, onions and cucumbers in whatever proportion you like. Toss vegetables with the parsley, then drizzle on some olive oil. Squeeze a lemon, and add some of the juice, add a tiny dash of salt, stir it all together.
  2. Have a taste - need more of something? Add a bit of that something (keeping in mind that if you're going to add feta cheese that feta is quite salty).
  3. Top with feta cheese. If you like olives and have some good ones on hand, you might want to throw a few of those in as well.

KITCHEN SAFETY UPDATE: Poor Scissor Control Leads to Wounding, Smugness.

CHICAGO - A recent attempt to use scissors on a difficult-to-open package led to not less than three separate cuts on the left hand of Sara Hornstra, a Chicago resident and city employee.

One witness, who declined to be identified, provided first aid for the injured woman, consisting of Band-Aids and Neosporin, but seemed more smug than sympathetic.

"In a way, she had it coming," said the witness. "Anytime someone as clumsy as her starts giving knife-safety lectures, you know a big comeuppance is on the way."

"It only took a couple months," the witness added. "It's very satisfying."

Sounds like perhaps hhhess should post his own recipe, doesn't it?
Oh, and just because hhhess can't seem to use a sharp knife without nearly slicing off a finger (who knew he'd nearly pass out at the site of a bit of his own blood?), that doesn't mean the rest of this site's visitors aren't up to the task.

This sounds really complicated. Why not just add a little feta and raw onion to a piece of pita bread, and then squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on top? Adding either cucumbers or olives would be a big mistake.

My suggestion also involves a lower risk of knife-related injuries.
