Traditional Greek Salad Recipe
Ingredients
4 Medium juicy tomatoes, preferably organic tomatoes
1 Cucumber, or 3/4
1 green bell pepper, cored
1 medium red onion
Greek pitted Kalamata olives
Salt, a pinch
4 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
8 oz or more creamy Greek feta cheese in blocks (do not crumble)
1/2 tbsp quality dried oregano
Instructions
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks.
Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves.
Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.
Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons.
Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of the pitted kalamata olives.
Season very lightly with salt (just a pinch). Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Give everything a very gentle toss to mix; do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be handled too much.
Now add the the feta blocks on top. Sprinkle the dried oregano.
Serve with crusty bread!
