There’s nothing better on a hot day than a good Greek Salad.
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 to 6 servings 1x
- Category: Salad
- Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers, peeled in strips, seeded and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 pound tomatoes, any kind, halved or quartered if smaller, in chunks if larger and any juices
- 1/2 small red onion, cut in very thin strips
- 3 to 4 ounces Feta cheese, sliced thickly or chunked
- 1 tablespoon capers, optional
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Greek seasoning
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Mix the dressing first, so the oregano or Greek seasoning has a chance to soften a bit. In a small bowl or jar, add olive oil and vinegar. Place oregano or seasoning in the palm of your hand and crumble it with the fingers of your other hand to help release the oils. Add the Oregano or seasoning, along with salt and pepper to jar or bowl and shake or whisk until emulsified.
Add vegetables to a bowl and toss with the dressing. Top with Feta and capers. Best if this sits for a few minutes before serving.
Note:
If you’d like to make a larger amount of the Vinaigrette to have on hand for more of this salad or other salads, see my post on Greek Dressing. Just increase the oregano to 3 tablespoons. You’ll want a strong dressing for this salad.
