TRADITIONAL GREEK SALAD RECIPE



Traditional Greek Salad Recipe image

Simple traditional Greek Salad with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, olives and creamy feta cheese.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium red onion
4 Medium juicy tomatoes
1 English cucumber (hot house cucumber) (partially peeled making a striped pattern)
1 green bell pepper (cored)
Greek pitted Kalamata olives (a handful to your liking)
kosher salt (a pinch)
4 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Blocks of Greek feta cheese (do not crumble the feta, leave it in large pieces)
1/2 tbsp dried oregano

Steps:

  • Cut the red onion in half and thinly slice into half moons. (If you want to take the edge off, place the sliced onions in a solution of iced water and vinegar for a bit before adding to the salad. I do this in the video).
  • Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks (I sliced some into rounds and cut the rest in wedges).
  • Cut the partially peeled cucumber in half length-wise, then slice into thick halves (at least 1/2" in thickness)
  • Thinly slice the bell pepper into rings.
  • Place everything in a large salad dish. Add a good handful of pitted kalamata olives.
  • Season very lightly with kosher salt (just a pinch) and a bit of dried oregano.
  • Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar all over the salad. Give everything a very gentle toss to mix (do NOT over mix, this salad is not meant to be handled too much).
  • Now add the the feta blocks on top and add a sprinkle more of dried oregano.
  • Serve with crusty bread.
