GREEK SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium red onion
- 4 medium juicy tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 handfuls Kalamata olives (or any other
olives) - 1 block feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and dried oregano to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by halving and thinly slicing a red onion into half moons. If you want to tone down the strong flavor, fill a small bowl with ice water, add about 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar, and toss the onion slices in. Let them soak for about 10 minutes while you get the other veggies ready.
Slice your tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, peel the cucumber in stripes, then slice it into half moons. Cut the green bell pepper into rings. Put all the veggies into a serving dish, and add some olives.
After 10 minutes, drain the onions from the water and add them to the dish. Sprinkle on a teaspoon of dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and drizzle some olive oil over everything. Gently toss it all together, then add pieces of feta on top. Enjoy your fresh salad!
If you have any leftover feta, don’t simply toss it back into the fridge otherwise it will get sour in less than a couple of days. A great way to store feta is in an airtight glass jar, covering it in oil and adding spices such as thyme or chilly to make it even more tasty! Feta will now last at least a month in the fridge.
