Greek Village Salad Dip

When we were visiting Greece a few years back, we were introduced to the Village Salad, that was filled with fresh tomatoes, peppers, Feta Cheese, cucumber and Kalamata olives and dressed with olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Greek Village Salad Dip has most of the ingredients of the salad, but uses sun dried tomatoes and more Feta cheese….a lovely combination to serve with crackers or cucumber, peppers or celery.

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups ( 200 gm) Greek Feta Cheese (crumbled)
1 Jar (6 oz/170 ml) marinated artichokes (drained and chopped, marinade reserved)
20 - 25 chopped pitted Kalamata olives
2 Tbsp oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (chopped and drained)
2 Tsp dried oregano
2 Cloves garlic (grated or minced)
1 Tbsp olive oil
freshly ground pepper (to taste)

Directions


Crumble the feta cheese. Drain and chop the artichokes, reserving the marinade

Pit and chop the Kalamata olives (to pit, place a butter knife on the side of the olive, push down and the seed will be easily removed)

Chop the sun dried tomatoes.

Mix the cheese, artichokes, olives, sun dried tomatoes, oregano, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, olive oil and freshly ground pepper together. Add some of the reserved artichoke marinade to make a spreadable consistency.

Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate at least one hour and up to three days. Serve with sliced cucumber, sliced sweet pepper, celery sticks and crackers.
