Even after spending some fabulous years in Europe, I didn't discover the joys of Feta. Funnily enough, Feta was introduced to me in Singapore, by a frenemy! That is a story for another day.
Edamame, I discovered in Singapore, thanks to my lovely aunt.
So I came up with my own idea to make Greek Salad without olives and cucumbers but adding Feta, Tomatoes, Onions, Olive Oil with loads of Edamame (that would make it super healthy), and a pinch of oregano.
This was a Monday evening, when luckily enough, I was home at 7pm. I had huge plans to go jogging 'finally' but instead decided to stay inside, giving my cold as an excuse, but also because I had a craving for a salty edamame salad (along with generous amounts of Feta).
Everything went alright. I was excited to have a great meal this evening, while I would watch re-runs of Friends. But just that I was hoping for too much too soon.
The last step in all of this salad-making process is adding some oregano. And in my absent-mindedness...I put a whole 300gm bottle of Oregano in my small salad bowl.
Even some post-damage control couldn't help the situation so much and my salad ended up looking like this:
Note to myself: Keep your eyes on the bottle of Oregano or any other herb/spice when putting it on something. If you don't look carefully, you might end up spoiling your entire dish, a lot of hard work, time and finally you will eat a whole bar of Dairy Milk because you were still hungry. This will give you 4-5 times more calories, and 4-5 times less nutrition.
