Ingredients
- 1 small red onion (or half a large one) sliced very thinly
- Juice of half a lemon (or to taste)
- ½ cucumber cut into half moons
- 12 cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 12 kalamata olives (or normal black ones , if you prefer) stones removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (ideally extra virgin) plus a little extra for finishing
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons oregano plus a little extra for garnish
- 100 g feta cheese cubed
Instructions
- Start by placing the finely sliced onions and lemon juice in a serving bowl. Mix together and allow to sit for 5 minutes. (This will soften the onions slightly and take away the harsh edge. The onions will also add extra flavour to the dressing, making it even more delicious. You can use this 5 minutes to prep the rest of the ingredients for the salad.)
- After 5 minutes, add the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano and mix everything together gently.
- Scatter over the cubed feta, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle over an extra pinch of oregano.
