Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 100 grams Kalamata olives
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a uniform texture. Transfer the feta mousse to a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the salad.
Wash and dry all the vegetables. Peel the cucumber if desired and slice it into half-moons. Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes depending on their size. Thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, and Kalamata olives. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
To assemble the salad, evenly divide the vegetable mixture onto individual plates or a serving platter. Using a spoon or piping bag, add dollops or swirls of the chilled feta mousse atop the salad.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Greek Salad with Feta Mousse as a light appetizer or side dish!
