Mr. Carastian's side dish - and envisaged - best side dish. But sadly, some Greek places just do watery dressing, bad oil and even worse, bad tomatoes. Not our dear NIkos. Good solid tomatoes, nice EVOO, some Kalamata Olives, cucumbers, a sliver of feta, peperoncino. The only thing that would take it up the last notch would be, if he would prepare it the same way that Mr. Carastian had it about 6 years ago in his then Restaurant. All cut to equal sized cubes. Some fresh herbs. AMAAAZEBALLS. But this one was good as well :-)

Another shot left and rescued to see the foodspotting daylight... The Greek salad that accompanied Mr Carastians fish the other day. Simple and yet such a beautiful dish. Crunchy cukes, tomatoes onion, feta herbs. Tossed in EVOO and boom... Happiness in a bowl.

Such a simple yet beautiful (side) dish. Made with rich, silky EVOO, perfect crunchy bite sized cucumber, tomatoes, great Olives and Feta. doesn't need much but boy oh boy can other places F... that thing up good. Not Mr. Nikos though.
