Greek Salad
Ingredients
- 1 lb tomatoes, heirloom, slicing, Roma, plum, even small cherry tomatoes are fine as long as they are ripe!, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
- 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into slices
- 1 small onion, sliced and rinsed with cold water
- 1 bell pepper, julienned
- 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 4 oz feta cheese, cut into squares
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Combine all the cut vegetables, olives, olive oil, vinegar, and dried herbs in a large bowl and toss to combine. I like to add the cheese last so that it doesn’t break apart too much. Gently toss and season to taste with salt and pepper. As this sits, the flavors will meld and juices will gather at the bottom of the bowl. My Greek brother-in-law likes to soak this up with good bread.
