Greek Village Salad For One Food

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.
