A Farmers Market Meal

With the bounty of the season at hand this weeks recipe is found at the local farmers market. If you haven't experienced one yet I highly recommend it. Shopping in the outdoors, with local vendors is a real treat. Last week we had a delicious meal. Greek salad, corn on the cob, and fresh steamed green beans.
Greek Salad:
One head of romaine lettuce washed and torn
One cucumber sliced 1/2 inch thick and quartered
Two tomatoes sliced 1/2 inch think and quartered
One red onion sliced and diced
Kalamata olives pitted and sliced in half
Feta cheese crumbled
Combine all ingredients in salad bowl and toss with dressing
Dressing:
1/4-1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves cleaned and finely chopped or one teaspoon dry
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/4-1/2 cup
2 cloves garlic finely minced
2-3 lemons squeezed
Salt and pepper to taste
combine all ingredients and shake, adjust seasonings to taste

Steam, grill or boil your fresh corn. Top with butter and salt.
Steam green beans, don't overcook, they should still be crisp. Toss with extra virgin olive oil, lemon and salt.

Enjoy the bounty!
