INGREDIENTS
GREEK SALAD
- 4 tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 small cucumbers, sliced into half moons
- 1 large green thinly sliced bell pepper
- 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup kalamata olives
- 5 ounces feta cheese, cut into chunks or cubed

DRESSING
DIRECTIONS
1. Mix these 4 ingredients in a large bowl: Tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell pepper, onion & olives.
2. Prepare the dressing in a mason jar or bowl: Combine the olive oil, vinegar, dried oregano and thyme. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Shake or whisk together until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad. Give it a little toss.
4. Top with feta cheese. You may drizzle a bit of olive oil, oregano or thyme.
TIPS:
- Keep it simple. Don't add lettuce or any other fresh greens. The authentic Greek Salad is made of 4 base ingredients: Tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and cheese.
- Do not crumble the feta cheese, keep the in big chunks.
- The classic version requires Kalamata olives but if you don't have any you can replace them with any kind.
