Ingredients

2 barley rusks

2 large, ripened tomatoes

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 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

  1. Divide the barley rusks between two shallow bowls.
  2. 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. 
  3. Divide the mixture between the two barley rusks, pouring directly over top. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each.
  4. 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.
