Ingredients
- 5 medium-large tomatoes cubed
- 2 large bell peppers cubed
- 1 long English cucumber cubed
- 1/2 cup red onion cubed
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives sliced in half
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk and set side.
- In a large bowl, add tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, onion, olives and feta cheese.
- Pour dressing on top and stir gently with a large spoon until combined well.
- Best served within 1 hour of combining.
Notes
- Make ahead: Refrigerate salad and dressing separately for up to 2 days, then combine before serving.
- Store: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 12 hours. Salad stays crispy for the evening, after - less.
- Tomatoes: I prefer tomatoes on the vine as they taste good even in winter months.
- Feta block: Crumbled feta has caking agents, so it's best to buy a chunk and crumble yourself.
