It has been over a year since I’ve tried your recipe, and I must say that my Significant Other is very much hooked with this salad – he’s always asking me to prepare it!
Many thanks MM :)

Had this today for Sunday lunch, prepared according to your recipe, served with wholemeal bread and white wine. Deliciously refreshing!

Anna Banana, yes, a spritz of lemon would work…

I am not too fond of red wine vinegar, can i substitute with freshly squeezed lemon juice?

I try to use olive oil from Crete when using Greek olive oil, it has a richer, fruitier flavour in extra virgin quality.
As an aside, I was amazed that in Korea a common dessert is raw cherry tomatos, just popped in the mouth – they dont have a sweet tooth for desserts, which may partly account for their longevity. However I notice many of their barbequr dishes incorporate sugar, as we do in ours.

maddie, I haven’t found any good greek olive oils here… I used to rely on gallon cans sent in by balikbayan box by a sister in NY…

Alas there is a salmonella warning on tomatoes (Roma and the round ones) here in the US now. The grape tomatoes are deemed to be safe..I like them, they are sweeter and more flavorful than their bigger cousins anyway so i am going to use them. I am guilty of just using bottled Italian dressing on my salads shame on me.

quiapo, surprisingly there is a huge improvement in lettuce sources in Manila, mostly hydroponically grown, so less flavor but actually chances are less cooties, I would like to think. lee, hahaha. mcdl, I did a feature on Gourdo’s a few years back… :) And yes, dried bottled oregano can be used as long as it isn’t too old…
