Basil Greek Salad

Ingredients
• Potato (cubes)
• Mixed Vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
• Onion (sliced)
• Tomato (cubes)
• 1tbsp Tomato Salsa
• 1tbsp Basil Pesto
• Dash of Black Pepper to Taste
• 1.5cup Water
• Parsley

Optional Ingredients
Young Corn
Olive Oil (for dressing)
1tbsp Butter (for dressing)
Cucumber (cubes)

1. Simmer Potato and Mixed Vegetables until soft. Add in Onions.

2. On a strainer, place cubed Tomatoes and pour in Cooked Potato and Mixed Vegetables. Mix together.

3. In a bowl, add in dash of Black Pepper, 1tbsp Basil Pesto and 1tbsp Tomato Salsa and mix well. Served and garnish with parsley.


This was an impromptu decision. My mother bought some roasted chicken last night but was unable to eat it because I don't eat after 7p nowadays. So, I had it for lunch and since I'm really keen on food presentation, I decided to recreate a salad that I learned while I stayed with my Turkish friends in Vietnam. 

The real deal was to use Olive oil inside of the pesto and salsa sauce but I don't have that at hand thus, I opted for what was on the fridge. It's more enticing to use, cucumber, young corn and tomato instead of potato and vegetables mixed because the prior is the real greek style salad in my opinion specially if it's topped of with goat's cheese :)

Anyhow, I hope you'll enjoy cooking and here's a photo of what I had for lunch earlier :D DROOL :P
