Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes

- 200 grams feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired and slice it into half-moons. Add the cucumber to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings. Add the onion to the bowl.
Add the kalamata olives to the bowl, leaving them whole or halved, depending on preference.
Crumble the feta cheese into the salad bowl, keeping the pieces slightly chunky for texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
