Description

This Classic Greek Salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish made with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, tangy feta cheese, and briny olives. Tossed in a simple olive oil dressing, it’s the perfect side dish for grilled meats or a light vegetarian lunch. Ready in minutes, no cooking required!


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 large cucumber, sliced into half-moons

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

  • 3/4 cup feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, green bell pepper, and Kalamata olives.

  • Add the feta cheese on top.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
