Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 4 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 large Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 4 ounces Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the cucumber into half-inch rounds, then cut each round into halves or quarters depending on the desired size.
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
Core and deseed the green bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips approximately 2 inches long.
Place the prepared cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper into a large salad bowl.
Add the Kalamata olives to the bowl with the vegetables.
Cut the feta cheese into small cubes (or crumble it, if preferred) and sprinkle it over the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, sea salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss everything together to distribute the flavors evenly. Be careful not to break the feta too much while tossing.
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately. Enjoy your Ultimate Greek Salad!
