Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized nice and ripe tomatoes
- ½ cucumber
- ½ red onion
- ½ green bell pepper
- 12 olives ( preferably Kalamata or other Greek)
- 10-12 pieces of capers
- 1 block feta cheese about 100 grams / 3.5 oz
- 1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- kosher salt & freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Cut tomatoes in half. Cut each half into 6 bite-sized pieces. Add to a salad bowl.
- With a vegetable peeler remove half the skin of the cucumber (you may leave as is or remove completely). Cut the cucumber in 4 long sticks lengthwise and then chop to bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl as well.
- Cut onion and pepper to thin slices and add to the bowl.
- Cut the feta cheese into 1 cm (½ inch) squares and add to the bowl along with the capers & olives.
- Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season with kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and dried oregano. Mix everything well for about 1-2 minutes (better if you do it with your hands). Ideally, let the salad sit for 15 minutes for the flavors to blend.
- Transfer to 2 small bowls or serve as is along with some grilled bread.
