Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 nr cucumber thinly sliced or chopped
  • 4 - 5 nr medium tomatoes sliced or quartered
  • 1 - 2 nr green peppers seeded and chopped or sliced
  • 1 cup olives pitted whole or chopped
  • 400 g feta cheese cut into thin cubes
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar from red wine
  • 1 tablespoon Finely chopped fresh oregano or 1-2 teaspoons of dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground (to taste)

Instructions

  • Layer the salad on a large serving platter or toss everything together in a large salad bowl.
  • Depending on how you serve it, cut the vegetables accordingly. Usually, I cut everything if the salad is served in layers on a plate and chop if in a bowl.
  • Layer the cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, olives, and feta cheese on a plate or add everything into a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped fresh oregano, and black pepper.
  • I do not add salt to the dressing because both olives and feta are quite salty.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and serve.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Tomatoes will release some juice but the salad will still be good to eat.

How to serve it

Serve the salad alone as a light lunch or dinner or as a side dish. You can also add proteins to turn it into a more filling meal. Serve it with pasta, fish, seafood, chicken, or any other meat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it vegan?

Yes, just use vegan feta!

How long does the salad stay fresh?

It keeps in the fridge in an airtight container for about 2-3 days. Tomatoes release quite a bit of water while sitting with the dressing, so the salad is best within days 1-2.
