Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
For the Mediterranean Salad
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 10 oz pack grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup kalamata olives
- 1 small English cucumber, peeled and chopped
- salt , to taste
- cracked pepper, to taste
For the Greek Salad Dressing
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- zest of 1/2 small lemon
Instructions
- Soak the onion slices in a bowl of cold water to remove their acidic bite. Set aside.
- Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.
- Place all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl and season with a little salt and lots of cracked black pepper. Drain and pat dry the onion slices on a piece of paper towel before adding them to the bowl.
- Add the dressing and gently fold the salad together, taking care not to break up the feta too much. Add more salt and pepper if needed before serving.
Notes
- Feta cheese crumbles can be used in this recipe, but you’ll get a better texture of salad and bigger chunks of cheese if you crumble a block of feta yourself.
- This salad is best eaten on the day it is made.
