A Greek Salad for the Gods
A salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, red onion and green bell pepper
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 3 tomato
- 1 cucumber
- 1 red onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 200 g feta cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp oregano plus some fresh mint if you like
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Chop the tomatoes, cucumber and green pepper. Slice the red onion and cut the slices in half. Put all the vegetables in a bowl.
- Cut the feta cheese in cubes or if you prefer break it into crumbs. Add the feta cheese to the vegetables in the bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar (or lemon juice) over the salad. Add the oregano (plus the mint) and the salt and pepper.
- Mix the salad together and serve!
Notes
If you prefer to reduce the strength of the flavor of the red onion and green pepper, mix them with the olive oil, the vinegar or lemon juice, and the oregano for up to 2 hours in advance. Marinating them in the vinegar or lemon juice will help soften them up as well as take the edge off of their taste. This salad is for 4 people as a side dish or starter or for 1 person as a main dish.
