DifficultyEasy

Tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and a thick slab of feta tossed with red onion and a sharp oregano dressing -- no lettuce, and none needed.

Ingredients

4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 cucumber, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
150 g Kalamata olives
200 g feta, in a slab or cubed

For the dressing

4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and olives in a large bowl.
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently.
Top with the feta, left as a slab or cubed and scattered over.
A slab of feta left whole on top, drizzled with oil and oregano, is the traditional presentation -- crumbling it is common but not classic.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Salt the tomatoes lightly and let them sit a few minutes first if they need extra flavor.
This salad does not keep well once dressed -- dress only what you'll eat that sitting.
