Ingredients
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 1/2 a large cucumber roughly chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper roughly chopped
- 1/2 a large red onion roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 8 ounces high-quality Feta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon capers
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the tomato into bite-sized pieces over a large bowl to catch the dripping juice. Add in the chopped cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and olives.
- Sprinkle salt over the prepared vegetables. Use your hands to gently toss the ingredients together, occasionally squeezing to allow the tomatoes to release more juices.
- Place the whole block of Feta cheese on top of our salad. Then, sprinkle the salad with 1/2 tsp dried oregano and drizzle with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with capers before serving. Enjoy your freshly made Greek salad!
Notes
