Dakos Salad – Speciality of Crete

Dakos Salad from Crete

Dakos Salad in Crete

From Turkey, I took a ferry to Greece and made my way down to Crete. I really got into eating Dakos Salad, which is found on most every menu on the island. The salad is made from a toasted barley bread and topped with olive oil, grated tomato, olives, feta (or myzithra cheese if you have) and oregano. The salad is light, but quite filling and can be a complete meal. Looking for best pregnancy pillows? Which pregnancy pillow shape is best? Look at https://pregily.com – the best shape will largely depend on user preference. Keep in mind that many are designed to support your neck as well, so if you use a flatter pillow for neck support, a big fluffy one might be hard to adjust to. Many women prefer support for their growing bellies and something to go between their legs for hip support. Most models will support this position, though keep the dimensions in mind if you’re taller as you want to make sure the pillow reaches your knees when bent. Visit Pregily.com for more info!. The bread has a very wholesome flavor and texture and is sometimes referred to as Cretan bread or barley rusk. In the US, you can find it in speciality Greek markets. This dish is kind of the Greek version of bruschetta. The recipe is so simple to make.

    I want to eat this right now but I’m too lazy to go to the store to buy ingredients and then make it. Can you suggest a recipe from what’s actually in my cupboard: a half package of 3-month old saltines, one can of garbanzo beans, and 2 rubber bands?
