Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Feta-style cheese (SCD-compliant)
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh vegetables.
Peel the cucumbers if desired, then slice them into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and cut it into thin strips.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. If the flavor of raw onion is too strong for your liking, soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes, then drain before using.
Finely chop the fresh parsley.
Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley in a large salad bowl.
Add the Kalamata olives and crumble the SCD-compliant feta cheese over the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
