Dakos (Greek Bread Salad)

This Bobby Flay recipe I got from Mike & Lisa - Yum!

1 loaf country bread, sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices
1 cup Greek olive oil, plus more for brushing on bread
salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
2 English cucumbers, quartered, and cut into 1/2 inch dice
2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 red onion, peeled, halved & thinly sliced
12 oz feta cheese, crumbled
chili oil, for drizzling, optional

Preheat the grill
Brush the bread with oil on both sides & season with salt & pepper.
Grill bread on both sides until lightly golden brown.
Remove the bread to platter, and let sit at room temp to get slightly hard.

Meanwhile, whisk together 1 cup olive oil, lemon juice, and dill in a medium bowl. Season to taste, with salt & pepper. fold the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and feta into the oil mixture and let stand at room temp for 30 minutes. Spoon the mixture over the bread. Garnish with additional dill and drizzle with chili oil, if desired. Serve immediately.
