Estiatorio Milos’ fervent sourcing of the freshest seafood from across the globe has been widely publicized, but the restaurant’s passion for quality certainly extends to other parts of the menu, like its simple but outstanding Greek tomato salad.

If you’re making it at home, executive chef Tyler Bringhurst says not to worry about the vegetables’ shapes—the salad’s supposed to be rustic, so uniformity isn’t required. If you’re hunting for Dodoni feta, try the International Marketplace. And with smothering heat soon to arrive in Las Vegas, Bringhurst suggests heirloom tomatoes in lieu of beefsteaks. Tweak as necessary!

Estiatorio Milos Cosmopolitan, 698-7930. Daily, noon-2:30 p.m.; Sunday-Thursday, 5:30-11 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 5:30 p.m.-midnight.
