      No vinegar? By "sweat" do you mean stand at room temp?

        Hi,

        Yes, salt causes the veggies to release juices, which go to bottom of the bowl.

        The Greeks do not use vinegar on this salad, which is commonly served in restaurants before the main course.

        Try the recipe as is, and dip your bread in the juices.
