Ingredients
2 barley rusks
2 large, ripened tomatoes
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Dried oregano, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons feta spread with yogurt (can substitute 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese and 1 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt, mixed together)
8-10 whole Kalamata olives for garnish
Instructions
- Divide the barley rusks between two shallow bowls.
- Cut one tomato into small dice and grate the other tomato into a medium bowl. To the bowl, add the sugar, salt and pepper, and mix together.
- Divide the mixture between the two barley rusks, pouring directly over top. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each.
- Divide the diced tomato, with its juice, between each bowl, and top with the feta and yogurt mixture. Once again, drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each. Garnish with the Kalamata olives and serve. The rusks should soften with the juice of the tomato and the olive oil.
