Summer Food From Greece

I lived in Greece for three years and learned quite a lot about Greek cuisine. The first rule is that a Greek salad doesn't have lettuce! I hate lettuce and nutritionally speaking it's pretty worthless. In my three years in that country I never had a Greek salad with lettuce. Never,ever! Tzatziki, a Greek salad, some good bread, and a glass of cold white wine make for a perfect lunch in August in the Mediterranean basin.
