Categories     Appetizer     Salad     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium-sized nice and ripe tomatoes
1/2 cucumber
1/2 red onion
1/2 green bell pepper
12 olives ( preferably Kalamata or other Greek)

1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
kosher salt & freshly ground pepper

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.

GREATEST GREEK SALAD



Greatest Greek Salad image

This recipe is from the Company's Coming Salads Cookbook. It's excellent, and a main stay in our house. I can't eat onions or peppers so this salad is "plain" to many, but I love it. If I'm serving it to company I put the peppers and onions on the side in seperate bowls allowing the guests to add their own. I find this eliminates any problems and it also stops the salad from being drenched in the pepper and onion flavours.
