Classic Greek Salad

Print Recipe

A refreshing and traditional Mediterranean salad made with crisp vegetables, tangy feta cheese, and olives, dressed simply with olive oil and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 cucumber, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 200 g (7 oz) feta cheese, cut into cubes or a block
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and bell pepper and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the Kalamata olives and gently toss with the vegetables.
  3. Top with feta cheese, either in cubes or as a block on top.
  4. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad.
  5. Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.

Notes

  • Do not use vinegar or lemon juice in a traditional Greek salad; olive oil is the main dressing.
  • For authenticity, keep the feta as a large block on top instead of crumbling it.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
