Cretan Tomato Salad

1. 1

   Place the barley rusks in a plastic zip lock bag, and using a heavy pan or rolling pin crush them lightly. You want big chunks, not crumbs. Place on a plate or in two salad bowls.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, grate your tomatoes using the largest holes on a box grater. It's messy, but worth it. Discard any leftover skins.

3. 3

   Pour the grated tomatoes over the rusks.

4. 4

   Sprinkle with salt and pepper from above, then drizzle the olive oil over all. Another reason to let the salad sit for a few minutes is to let the salt melt and bring out the flavor in the tomatoes.

5. 5

   Sprinkle with the fresh feta cheese and oregano.

6. 6

   Go do something for 10 - 15 minutes. Put in a load of laundry, make the bed, whatever.

7. 7

   Get a fork and dig in to a wonderfully rustic, healthy salad.
