Packed with fresh, crunchy vegetables like cucumber, tomato, and red onion, and complemented by the briny richness of Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese, this recipe transforms your favorite ciabatta rolls into a handheld version of the iconic Greek salad. A drizzle of tangy homemade dressing made with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano ties it all together, creating a bold and refreshing flavor profile. Perfectly toasted or served as-is, this sandwich is a quick, 20-minute meal thatβs ideal for picnics, work lunches, or a light dinner. Enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean, one satisfying bite at a time!
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half lengthwise. If desired, spread a thin layer of butter on each cut side and lightly toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown. Set aside.
Peel the cucumber (if preferred) and dice it into small cubes. Dice the tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Roughly chop the Kalamata olives.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped olives, crumbled feta cheese, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything gently until well combined.
Spoon generous portions of the Greek salad mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted ciabatta rolls.
Place the top halves of the rolls onto the sandwiches, pressing down gently to secure the filling.
Serve immediately, or wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper if packing for a picnic or lunch.
