Simple Greek Salad
Description
The Simple Greek Salad consists of fresh vegetables including diced English cucumber, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and whole or halved kalamata olives mixed with crumbled or diced feta cheese. The dressing is prepared separately by whisking extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper for a bright, acidic coating that complements the vegetables and cheese.
After combining the vegetables and cheese in a bowl, the dressing is poured over and tossed evenly, ensuring each component is well coated with the vibrant, tangy flavors. This salad provides a balance of crisp textures and savory, briny elements, making it a straightforward and satisfying side dish or light meal addition.
