    Greek Salad — tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion and feta with olive oil

    Greek salad is the bright, herbaceous bowl of summer: crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and briny kalamata olives crowned with a slab of feta. A red wine vinaigrette ties it all together.

    This is the everyday salad of Greek tavernas and home kitchens, served with warm bread to mop up the dressing. Keep the feta in one big piece on top — everyone breaks off their own bite.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper into a vinaigrette.
    2. Combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and olives in a large salad bowl.
    3. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
    4. Place the block of feta on top and sprinkle with a little extra oregano.
    5. Drizzle a touch more olive oil over the feta and serve immediately with bread.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Toss the salad just before serving so the lettuce stays crisp. A pinch of dried oregano crushed in your palm over the feta makes all the difference.
