Description

Authentic Greek salad with fresh vegetables, fragrant olive oil, oregano, and salty, creamy feta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Medium Tomato, Chopped Into 10-12 Pieces
  • 1 whole Small Cucumber, Peeled And Cut Into 1/4 Inch Thick Slices
  • ½ whole Small Red Or White Onion, Cut Into Rings
  • ½ whole Small Green Bell Pepper, Stemmed, Seeded And Cut Into Rings
  • 1 pinch Dried Oregano
  • 10 whole Unpitted Black Olives, Preferably Kalamata
  • ¾ Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 ounces, weight Feta, Preferably Greek
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Crusty Bread, To Serve

Preparation

1. Toss the tomato, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, oregano, and olives with the vinegar in a shallow bowl or soup plate.

2. Lay the feta over the top and drizzle the whole thing with the olive oil.

Notes: I don’t season the salad with salt. Instead, I just make sure that each bite of vegetable is accompanied by a bite of olive or feta cheese. Don’t use pitted olives. Leave the cheese in one piece on the top instead of crumbling it into the salad. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the dressing. Serves 2-3 as a side dish.

Most people who take pride in their cooking love to add their own kick, their own signature to a dish. However, growing up over seas and in different countries, it is very nice to see an actual authentic dish without the preparer’s signature to it. This was very satisfying from the presentation down to the taste. Thanks for sharing!
