Recipe riddle
There is this salad at a Mediterranean place here. They call it Mediterranean salad. It has cucumber, tomato, a little onion, a little olive oil and some spices. I don't know what the spices are or the proportions. Is this an actual thing or did the restaurant make it up?

Re: Recipe riddle
When I make it I use:
- cucumber
- red onion
- kalamata olives
- hothouse tomatoes
And then the dressing is:
- olive oil
- lemon juice
- oregano (dried)
- salt & pepper

It's generally one part lemon or vinegar, three parts EVOO and salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
1/4C vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice
1tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste
But I prefer to add olives, feta cheese, and maybe some of those pepperoncini peppers.

That's a pretty standard salad for either southern Italy, Spain or Greece. lol, yes, all three are on the Mediterranean and the contents of the salad grow well there.
I think that the cheeses you add to it makes the region. Feta -= greece, hard parm slices = Italy, Tapas = Spain
Granted, I'm not all too well versed in quite a few cheeses (I think intensely disliking them led to not paying attention) but I don't think that's a cheese I've ever heard of before.
