Video Transcript

"Hi this is Karen for Expert Village now we'll cut up our green onion our scallions just cut it in half and try to or even in thirds to get a good bunch together about this length. You want to cut with a smooth moving keep the knife moving and just I'm holding the scallions like this with a little claw the thumb and the finger holding it together. And the 3 fingers on top hold it down and you want to go about a 1/4" make little rounds 1/4" ringlets. You just keep moving your fingers down as you go slice to down and if you keep your knife moving you have a good sharp knife it won't squash up these scallions. If you find that your scallion is just getting mashed you want to go ahead and either find a sharper knife or sharpen up the one your using. We'll just sprinkle that over the top of our orange pepper and then we'll sprinkle on our olives and just distribute them around. And last but not least we'll crumble up our feta cheese over the top now this can be wrapped up and stored like this over night. So if your having a party or a get together and you want to prepare it the night ahead of time this works great and you don't dress it, don't put any salad dressing on it until just before you serve it. Maybe 15 minutes before your serving it so that the dressing you'll put the dressing on and it will have a chance to work it's way down through all the vegetables and let me just wash my hands. So the dressing will your pour it over the top it'll work its way down to the bottom and as its being served you'll dig down all the way to the bottom to get those cucumbers and tomatoes and all the layers of the salad that we've made. On the buffet table it just a beautiful presentation you see the cucumbers you see the tomatoes out through the glass and then the beautiful feta cheese on top as the white feta cheese is a nice contrast to the red and the green."
