Greek Feast Recipes

recipes-august-28-archived
The light, bright flavors of the Mediterranean lend themselves well to late summer in the Northwest as sun-baked heirloom tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and fresh herbs continue to ripen in abundance. Take advantage of the bounty this week with a menu starring a produce-packed Greek salad accented by lemony olives, salty sheep’s milk feta and purslane. A crisp Kalamata olive loaf, housemade tzatziki sauce and fresh figs complete this fitting feast for the last precious days of summer.
