Make a delicious, healthy Traditional Greek Salad to serve four people as a side dish. It's very easy to make and serve in under 15 minutes.
- 3 medium tomatoes each cut in 6 wedges
- 1 large English cucumber or large standard cucumber
- 15 kalamata olives pitted
- ¼ cup red onion sliced into thin strips
- ⅓ red bell pepper sliced into thin strips
- 4 ounces feta cheese big crumbles
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ground oregano
- 2 pinches salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
-
Place prepped tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onion, red bell pepper and kalamata olives in a large salad bowl.
-
Crumble feta cheese over the top of the salad, then set the bowl aside.
-
Place olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Use a fork or whisk to mix these ingredients together until they become emulsified. Emulsification means oil and vinegar are fully combined and not separated.
-
Pour salad dressing over salad. Use tongs to gently toss ingredients together until salad dressing covers all the salad ingredients. Serve and enjoy!
NOTE: If you want to make the salad up ahead of time, you can cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for several hours. Do NOT add the salad dressing until you're ready to serve the salad.
