Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 100 grams Kalamata olives
- 150 grams Feta cheese
- 60 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 15 milliliters Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, and red onion thoroughly under cool running water.
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired. Slice it into thick half-moons and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the red onion thinly and include in the salad bowl for a sharp, tangy flavor.
Remove the stem and seeds from the green bell pepper. Slice it into thin rings and add to the vegetables.
Scatter the Kalamata olives evenly over the salad mixture.
Cut the block of feta cheese into thick slices or cubes and lay them on top of the vegetables. Alternatively, you can crumble the feta over the salad for a more rustic presentation.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
Pour the dressing evenly over the salad, ensuring all the ingredients are lightly coated.
Gently toss the salad to combine, being careful not to break apart the feta cheese too much if using cubes.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy as a starter, side dish, or light main course!
