Ingredients
  

  • 3 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cucumber peeled and sliced or chopped (as preferred)
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives
  • 8 ounces feta cheese in blocks or crumbled
  • 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the vegetables: Start by chopping the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Peel and slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper.
  • Combine in a bowl: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, sliced onion, green bell pepper, and Kalamata olives.
  • Add the cheese: Either crumble the feta cheese or place large blocks of it over the salad. Traditional Greek salad often uses thick blocks of feta for a more authentic experience.
  • Season and dress: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salad. Add the optional red wine vinegar if you want a slightly tangy flavor. Sprinkle the dried oregano on top, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • Toss gently: Mix the salad gently to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the dressing, but be careful not to break the feta too much if you are using blocks.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the salad fresh, either as a side to grilled meats or fish, or enjoy it as a light main meal with crusty bread.
