GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Place 4 large vine tomatoes, cut into wedges, 1 peeled, deseeded and chopped cucumber, ½ a thinly sliced red onion, 16 Kalamata olives, 1 tsp dried oregano, 85g feta cheese chunks and 4 tbsp Greek extra virgin olive oil in a large bowl.
• Lightly season, then serve with crusty bread to mop up all of the juices.

BEST GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes in half. Cut each half into 6 bite-sized pieces. Add to a salad bowl.
• With a vegetable peeler remove half the skin of the cucumber (you may leave as is or remove completely). Cut the cucumber in 4 long sticks lengthwise and then chop to bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl as well.
• Cut onion and pepper to thin slices and add to the bowl.
• Cut the feta cheese into 1 cm (1/2 inch) squares and add to the bowl along with the capers & olives.
• Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season with kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and dried oregano. Mix everything well for about 1-2 minutes (better if you do it with your hands). Ideally, let the salad sit for 15 minutes for the flavors to blend.
• Transfer to 2 small bowls or serve as is along with some grilled bread.

GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and oil. Stir in the oregano and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• When ready to serve: In a large bowl lightly toss the lettuce with some of the dressing. Divide the lettuce among 4 salad bowls. Scatter the olives, cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and peppers over the top of the greens. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing; in a processor or use a wire whisk process/whisk the olive oil with lemon juice, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, garlic, dried, basil, red wine vinegar, salt and sugar until smooth (add in more oregano and lemon juice if needed).
• Season with black pepper.
• Chill in fridge for a couple of hours before using to blend flavors.
• Place the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
• Pour dressing over; toss to combine.
• If desired allow the salad to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving, or you can refrigerate for 1 hour (tossing a few time during sitting time).

TRADITIONAL GREEK SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons. (If you want to take the edge off, place the sliced onions in a solution of iced water and vinegar for a bit before adding to the salad. I do this in the video).
• Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks (I sliced some into rounds and cut the rest in wedges).
• Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves (at least 1/2" in thickness)
• Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.
• Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of pitted kalamata olives.
• Season very lightly with kosher salt (just a pinch) and a bit of dried oregano.
• Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar all over the salad. Give everything a very gentle toss to mix (do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be handled too much).
• Now add the the feta blocks on top and add a sprinkle more of dried oregano.
• Serve with crusty bread.

GREEK SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, combine red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, and oregano. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the olive oil over the mixture so that it emulsifies. Set aside.
• Slice the onions very thin, and place in a small bowl. Cover with cold water and set aside for 10 minutes or so. This will take some of the bite out of the onion. (If you are a hard core raw onion lover, skip this step!)
• Chop the tomatoes into bite size pieces. Place in a colander over the sink to drain.
• Chop the cucumbers and add to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Add the kalamata olives, fresh mint, and fresh dill.
• Pat the onions dry with a paper towel and add to the bowl. Add the tomatoes. Toss it all together gently.
• Top with crumbled or chopped feta (next time I'm chopping a block into chunks!) Add as much as you like. Taste it to see if it needs more salt, pepper, or oregano. Toss gently and serve immediately.
