Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 large cucumber sliced or chopped
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup Kalamata olives pitted
- 100 g 3.5 oz feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine your halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
- Add the Feta: Place your cubed or crumbled feta cheese gently on top of the vegetable medley.
- Drizzle the Dressing: Pour the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar (or lemon juice) directly over the salad.
- Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the top.
- Toss and Serve: Use large spoons to gently toss everything together. Tip: Do this just before serving so the feta stays intact and the vegetables remain crisp. Serve immediately for the best texture.
