Prepare a refreshing, traditional Greek salad featuring crisp vegetables, salty feta, and a simple oregano vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced or chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, red onion, and olives into a large bowl.
  2. Gently add the feta cheese to the vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
  5. Toss the salad gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to combine.

Notes

  • For the most authentic flavor, use block feta stored in brine, rather than pre-crumbled.
  • If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain before adding to the salad.
