Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry all the vegetables before beginning the preparation.
Peel the cucumber as desired (you can leave stripes of skin for texture) and slice it into half-moons.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges, approximately six to eight pieces per tomato.
Remove the seeds and core from the green bell pepper, then slice it into thin rings or strips.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, and kalamata olives.
Cut the feta cheese into large cubes (or crumble it if preferred) and gently place it on top of the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Gently toss the salad until all the vegetables are coated in the dressing, being careful not to break the feta.
Serve immediately or let the flavors marinate for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread or as a side to your favorite Mediterranean dish.
