Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • - 2 cucumbers chopped
  • - 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • - 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • - 1/2 cup 75 g feta cheese, cubed
  • - 1/4 cup pitted olives Kalamata or green, halved
  • - 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
For the Dressing
  • - 3 tbsp olive oil
  • - 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • - 1 tsp dried oregano
  • - salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta, olives, and parsley.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving so the flavors come together.

Notes

  • Storage: Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Make ahead: This is the best of the three for making a few hours ahead — the resting time actually improves it.
  • Swap: Use fresh lemon juice instead of red wine vinegar, or add diced avocado just before serving for a heartier version.
