Ingredients
- 2-3 cups chopped romaine lettuce (about 1 heart)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
- 1 cucumber halved, seeded, and sliced (peeled if you prefer)
- 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
- 1/4 cup Thinly sliced red onion (about 1/2 of a small onion)
- 6 oz. crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar see notes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the chopped romaine lettuce (2-3 cups), halved cherry tomatoes (1 pint), kalamata olives (1/2 cup), sliced cucumber, diced bell pepper, sliced red onion (1/4 cup), and crumbled feta cheese (6 oz.) to a large bowl. (If preparing ahead of time, stop here and refrigerate).
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the salad with the kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) and the black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and drizzle with the olive oil (2 tablespoons) and red wine vinegar (1 tablespoon).
- Mix the salad together until everything is coated and serve.
Notes
- If you're sensitive to the acidity of vinegar, try 1/2 tablespoon or 2 teaspoons instead of a whole tablespoon. You can also make a separate dressing mixed with a little honey or sugar to temper the acidity, or use this method with a typically less acidic vinegar, like balsamic or cider vinegar, or with lemon juice.
- For a dairy free version, omit the feta or replace it with a vegan substitute. Omit the feta to make this salad paleo/whole30 compliant.
- To make ahead of time, you can prep the ingredients and assemble them in a bowl up to 24 hours in advance. Add the salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar just before serving, otherwise it will become quite soggy.
