Greek Rainbow Vegetable Salad
Description
This salad combines diced medium vine tomatoes, peeled large cucumber, sliced red onion, and colorful red and yellow bell peppers to create varied textures and sweet, tangy flavors. Crumbled feta provides creamy saltiness, while kalamata olives add a briny bite. The simple dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper ties the ingredients together, with a balance of acidity and light sweetness.
The salad is assembled by layering ingredients in a specific order and pouring the dressing on just before serving. Allowing it to sit for about 30 minutes helps the flavors meld. It's a vibrant side dish that complements grilled meats, seafood, or can be enjoyed on its own.
