I tend to eat small meals all day long. Joys of pregnancy. We made two antipastos yesterday, Pan Bagna with Green sauce and Eggplant salad with Basil and Lemon. They go perfect on hard crust french bread.

  1. Halve, core, seed and coarsely chop tomatoes
  2. Halve, pit, and peel avocado and cut into 1/2 inch chunks.
  3. Peel and slice cucumber.
  4. Add feta into a large bowl. Add the vegetables to feta. Add green and sauce chopped basil and toss gently.
Green Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 5 Kalamata olives (my favorite...yum!!!)

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme and mint
  • 1 medium size clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  1. drain capers in strainer and chop finely.
  2. Drain and pit olives and chop coarsely.
