5  tomatoes

1 green bell pepper, cored

1.5 Cucumber

 olives

1.5  red onion

Salt, a pinch

5 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

0.5 tbsp quality dried oregano

Blocks of Greek feta


_ INSTRUCTIONS

Total Time : 10 mins



Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks (I sliced some and cut

the rest in wedges).

Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into

thick halves (at least 1/2″ in thickness)



Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.

Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons.

Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of the


pitted kalamata olives.

Season very lightly with salt (just a pinch). Pour the olive oil and red

wine vinegar.

Give everything a very gentle toss to mix; do NOT over mix, this salad

is not meant to be handled too much.


Now add the the feta blocks on top. Sprinkle the dried oregano.

Serve with crusty bread!
