Recipe for greek salad
Greek salad ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 2 fresh cucumbers
- 1 red onion
- 200 g feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons black olives (e.g. Kalamata)
- 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into larger pieces. Peel the cucumber and cut them into half-slices or thicker pieces. Peel the red onion and cut them into thin rings.
Cut the feta cheese into cubes or leave it in a larger block, as is traditionally served in Greece. Drain the olives and add them whole.
On a large platter, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion. Add black olives and crumbled feta cheese.
Mix everything thoroughly and sprinkle the salad with lemon juice, drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano.
The salad is best served immediately after preparation, so that the vegetables remain crunchy and the feta retains its structure. It tastes great with crispy bread or grissini sticks.
