As I recall this was one of the very first recipes I shared to the internet more than ten years ago. It has stood the test of time and has not changed one bit.

It is everything I look for in a Greek type tossed salad. The dressing has a nice herb flavor when combined with the fresh mint. This does not need sugar at all as I find it to be perfectly balanced between acid and oil.
Usually, when the balance of that is off, I have seen people compensate for too much vinegar with sugar. But it doesn’t have to be like that! Just balance the dressing. The only reason you should add sugar to a dressing is if you are looking for a slight hint of sweetness. But this salad doesn’t need that.
There is not much else to say about this- I did serve mine this time with some lamb seekh kebabs and a spiced rice pilaf and pita bread. I would suggest a nice dry red wine to go with, something like a Cab or Syrah should suffice. I do hope you enjoy!
