2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Notes

Chef's Note: Authentic and served with almost every entrée in Greece, this dish is one of my favorite side dishes to serve with grilled meats, poultry, and seafood. Simple and tangy in flavor, it can be made ahead of time and is really good cold.
