Ingredients
- 1 lb. Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
- 1 Hot House Cucumber
- ¼ cup Red Onion (sliced)
- ½ cup Kalamata Olives
- 5 ounces Feta Cheese (block cut into squares)
Greek Dressing:
- ⅓ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Greek Dressing:
- Blend together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place in refrigerator while you prepare the salad.
Greek Salad:
- Start by slicing the tomatoes in half lengthwise and the cucumber into slices. I suggest thinly slicing the red onion and cutting it into small pieces. You can keep the kalamata olives whole or slice them in half lengthwise. Cut the feta cheese into blocks, if using fresh feta cheese.
- Add the vegetables and cheese to a bowl and toss with Greek dressing until fully coated. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- This tomato cucumber feta salad is best kept in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
