Time 20m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 cup olive oil
3 large ripe tomatoes, cored, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 large cucumber, peeled, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 small red onion, cut into thin slices
12 kalamata olives
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup red wine vinegar (sometimes I add a splash of balsamic too)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small frying pan, saute the garlic in the 1 tbls. olive oil over medium high heat. Stir often, until the garlic is caramelized and slightly crunchy. Watch carefully! Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Arrange the sliced vegetables on individual plates, or on a platter. Top with the olives and the crumbled feta cheese.
  • Whisk the vinegar, 1 cup olive oil and oregano together. Season each salad with salt and pepper, then drizzle with the dressing. Top with the sauteed garlic and serve. Enjoy!
