Description

This traditional Greek Salad recipe is wonderfully uncomplicated, easy to make, and so refreshing.  Feel free to toss it everything together in a mixing bowl, or just serve the base ingredients with bottles of olive oil and red wine vinegar on the side for people to dress their individual portions.

  • 4 medium-sized tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 English cucumber (or two small Persian cucumbers), sliced into half moons

  • 1 cup kalamata olives
  • 34 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus extra for serving
  • sea salt
  • 5 ounces feta cheese, thickly-sliced if possible
