Art History Inspired Recipe: Mediterranean Masterpiece Salad

Today, I’m sharing a vibrant and flavorful dish inspired by the beautiful colors and textures of Mediterranean art. This refreshing salad is a celebration of summer produce and will transport you to a sunny terrace overlooking the sea with each bite.

Ingredients:

  • ripe tomatoes (200g)
  • cucumbers (150g)
  • red onions (50g)
  • mixed olives (100g)
  • feta cheese (100g)
  • fresh basil leaves (a handful)
  • extra virgin olive oil (50ml)
  • lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • salad servers

To start, chop the ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the mixed olives, crumbled feta cheese, and torn fresh basil leaves to the bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a simple dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well coated.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, making it perfect for 4 servings. Each serving is around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 200 calories.

I encourage you to make this Mediterranean masterpiece salad your own by adding your favorite ingredients or adjusting the seasoning to suit your taste. Enjoy this colorful and delicious dish as a light lunch, side dish, or even as a main course on a warm summer evening. Bon appétit!
