# Video: Cretan Dakos

**Watch:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CPOVRx4yjQ

I refuse to accept that vacations are over and my social media feed still has photos of my friends having fun at various Greek beaches. So for today’s snack, I’ve prepared a good old Cretan Dakos, which packs SO much Greek flavour!

Cretan Dakos, or Krhtikos Ntakos, are the perfect healthy snack or light lunch on a hot summer's day. A little like an Italian bruschetta, they are basically a crisp bread (here a Dakos, or barley rusk) topped with tomatoes, feta, olives and capers, and drizzled in olive oil. They provide everything I want in the sun - fresh veg, salty feta and that savoury bite of caper. What's your go-to summertime staple?
