Traditional Greek salad

Super fresh, and utterly delicious!

INGREDIENTS

• 8 Medium juicy tomatoes, preferably organic tomatoes
• 2 Cucumber, or 3/4 English (hot house) cucumber preferred, partially peeled making a
  striped pattern
• 2 green bell pepper, cored
• 2 medium red onion
• Greek pitted Kalamata olives
• Salt, a pinch
• 8 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek olive oil)
• 2–4 tbsp red wine vinegar or Balsamic vinegar with Honey
• Blocks of Greek feta (do not crumble) a good amount to your liking
• 1 tbsp quality dried oregano

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks
2. Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves (at least
1/2″ in thickness)
3. Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.
4. Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons.
5. Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of the pitted kalamata olives.
6. Season very lightly with salt (just a pinch). Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
7. Give everything a very gentle toss to mix; do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be
handled too much.
8. Now add feta pieces on top. Sprinkle the dried oregano.
9. Serve with crusty bread!
