    List of Ingredients




    Vinaigrette
    3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1 ½ teaspoons juice from 1 lemon
    2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 medium clove garlic, minced or pressed through garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)
    6 tablespoons olive oil

    Salad
    ½ medium red onion, sliced thin (about ¾ cup)
    1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices (about 2 cups)
    2 romaine hearts, washed, dried thoroughly, and torn into 1 ½-inch pieces (about 8 cups)
    2 large vine-ripened tomatoes (10 ounces total), each tomato cored, seeded, and cut into 12 wedges
    ¼ cup loosely packed torn fresh parsley leaves
    ¼ cup loosely packed torn fresh mint leaves
    6 ounces jarred roasted red bell peppers, cut into ½ by 2-inch strips (about 1 cup)
    20 large kalamata olives, each olive pitted and quartered lengthwise
    5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1 cup)

    Recipe



    1. Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients in a large bowl until combined. Add the onion and cucumber and toss; let stand to blend flavors, about 20 minutes.

    2. Add the romaine, tomatoes, parsley, mint, and peppers to the bowl with the onions and cucumbers; toss to coat with the dressing.

    3. Transfer the salad to a wide, shallow serving bowl or platter; sprinkle the olives and feta over the salad. Serve immediately.
