A vibrant, refreshing mix of ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and green bell pepper, topped with Kalamata olives, creamy feta cheese, and a simple yet flavorful dressing. Perfect for a light meal or as a side dish!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe tomatoes, chopped into wedges 🍅
  • 1 cucumber, sliced (or quartered if using a large cucumber) 🥒
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 🧅
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced 🌶️
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted 🫒
  • 8 oz block of feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled 🧀
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 🫒
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 🍷
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano 🌿
  • Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or oregano for garnish 🌿

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and green bell pepper. Gently toss the vegetables to mix them evenly.
  2. Add the Olives and Feta:
    Scatter the Kalamata olives over the vegetables, then place the feta cheese on top. You can either leave the feta as a whole block, as is traditional, or crumble it for easier serving.
  3. Make the Dressing:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  4. Dress the Salad:
    Drizzle the dressing over the salad, ensuring everything is lightly coated. Give the salad a gentle toss to combine, being careful not to break up the feta too much.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or additional oregano, if desired. Serve immediately with warm pita bread or as a side to grilled meats or fish.
