Golden croutons made from olive bread boost the presence of the Kalamata olives, both of which are fried in this rendition of the salad. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion—tumbled over slices of feta—are all here. Dill adds a bright spring grassiness to this new rendition of Greek salad.

New riff on an old classic.

Love, love, love this fresh and tasty twist on Greek salad! The key is to have very fresh and crisp cucumbers and slightly sweet tomatoes. I added more dill than the recipe calls for, too. A cup of olive oil for making croutons can be too much, depending upon the bread you use. Olive bread does work best, but other hearty breads are delicious, too. This was a big hit at a BBQ, and I've shared the recipe with many people. This will become a regular item in my salad rotation.
