Dinner Tonight: Village Salad

village-saladPopular in a number of different cultures, village salad, also known as peasant salad, Greek salad, or in Bulgaria, Shopska salad, is basically a salad that is made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, feta cheese, and other possible additions. Veggies are chopped up into chunky pieces and served with a simple dressing. This is a perfect dish for all of those ripening end-of-summer vegetables. It keeps well and some people like it even better the next day. And the best part is that you will easily get a few servings of vegetables into your daily diet.
