  NOTE: When I was a child you could go into one of those
  marvelous old-fashioned Jewish appetizing stores and indulge
  your senses in a millions ways. You were simply surrounded
  by wonderful things to eat: hard candies, the kind that has
  soft jam filling inside, all wrapped in beautiful
  multicolored papers; barrels of pickles to make your mouth
  water and pucker; an array of smoked fish that was
  mind-boggling; and, among the fishes and herring, potato
  salads and coleslaw, there was always a beautiful tray of
  what was called Greek salad.

  When I grew up I learned that it wasn't really a Greek
  salad, for obviously herring was substituted for anchovies
  (a fish not familiar to Eastern European Jews), and there
  wasn't a trace of feta cheese, so as to keep it parve and
  kosher, but it was then and still remains one of my all time
  favorite salads. I've tried to reproduce it to the best of
  my memory. I hope you like it as much as I do.

  Greek salad makes a wonderful summer lunch when served with
  a hearty black bread and butter and a bowl of cold ruby-red
  borscht.
