Easy Summer Greek Salad

So easy to make but this salad looks like you spent a lot of time on it.  I sliced sweet onions and plum tomatoes, sprinkled with good olive oil, covered the whole dish with clear plastic wrap and refrigerated for an hour. While this was cooling, I peeled a cucumber.  Once the skin was gone, I continued to peel long thin slices of cucumber and curled them on the plate like spaghetti.  I added the chilled tomatoes and onions and drizzled a bit of Greek salad dressing on the whole thing.  I would have added some fire roasted red peppers and Greek olives but didn't want to go back to the supermarket one more time; I have been living there lately.

Reflections:  Next time, I'll add small strips of fire roasted tomatoes and Greek olives for a salty finish.  I could add just few bits of feta cheese to finish it off nicely, too.
