Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 4 large ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges; 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced into thick half-moons; 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced; 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced; 200g (7oz) block of Greek feta cheese, cut into large cubes; 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted; 2 teaspoons dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables

Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut tomatoes into wedges, peel and slice cucumber into thick half-moons, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the green bell pepper into rings or strips.
Combine the base ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and green bell pepper. Toss gently to mix the vegetables without breaking them.
Add the feta and olives

Place the cubed feta cheese on top of the vegetable mixture. Do not toss or mix yet. Scatter the Kalamata olives over the salad.
Season the salad

Sprinkle the dried oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the entire salad.
Dress the salad

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and fresh lemon juice over the salad. Toss very gently just before serving to maintain the integrity of the vegetables and feta cheese.
Serve immediately

For the best flavor and texture, serve the Greek salad at room temperature with crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious dressing that pools at the bottom of the bowl.
