This salad is soooo good and oh so easy. Success depends upon the freshest ingredients, and the best olive oil

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -5 tomatoes (Large,ripe)
1 large red onion
1 cucumber
1 green bell pepper
1/4 lb Greek feta cheese (, sliced or cumbled)
1/4 teaspoon dried greek oregano (rigani)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup top quality extra virgin olive oil
1 dozen Greek olive (Kalamata, green Cretan olives, etc.)
1 tablespoon water (optional)

Steps:

  • Preparation:.
  • Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and green pepper. Clean off the outer skin from the onion, wash, and dry.
  • Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized irregularly shaped chunks, removing the core. Salt lightly. Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices, cutting slices in half (whether or not you peel the cucumber is a personal choice). Salt lightly. Slice the pepper into rings, removing the stem and seeds. Salt lightly. Slice the onion into thin rings.
  • Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper and onion in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle with oregano, pour olive oil over the salad, and toss. Just before serving, place the feta on top of the salad, either as a slice or crumbled (as in photo), and toss in some olives. Sprinkle the cheese with oregano (and pepper if desired), mix the oil and water and drizzle over the top, and serve, garnished with hot peppers.
  • Additional ingredients.
  • Anchovies: if you like this salty fish, add a couple to the salad before tossing.
  • Capers: toss in a few if you like them.

A bit bland. Overall, this Greek salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or herbs. The dressing could have been more flavorful as well.

Not a fan of the dressing. The dressing in this recipe was a bit too lemony for my taste. I prefer a more balanced dressing with less lemon and more olive oil. Other than that, the salad was great.
