Recipe Introduction


Greek salad, or horiatiki, is a rough country salad of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, sliced red onion, green bell pepper, crumbly feta cheese, and plump kalamata olives. Serve this delightful combination as a side dish or as a light meal with some crusty bread.





List of Ingredients



• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and extra for garnish
  
• 3 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
  
• 1/4 red onion, sliced into rings
  
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced lengthwise, then cut into thick half-moons
  
• 1/2 green bell pepper, julienned
  
• 16 pitted kalamata olives
  
• 4 ounces (120 g) feta cheese, cut into small cubes
  






Instructions



1. Place the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small jar with a screw-top lid and shake to combine.
   
   
2. Place the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, olives, and cheese in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, just before serving. Garnish with a little freshly ground black pepper.
