Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 large Sweet red pepper
- 100 grams Green olives (pitted)
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the tomatoes into thin wedges and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, slice it into thin rounds, and add it to the salad bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.
Core the sweet red pepper, remove the seeds, and cut it into thin strips. Add these to the bowl as well.
Add the green olives to the salad bowl, distributing them evenly among the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with a fork or small whisk to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the salad bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces (do not chop with a knife to preserve their flavor) and sprinkle them over the salad.
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Genoese Condijun immediately as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy with crusty bread, if desired.
