TRADITIONAL GREEK SALAD RECIPE

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.

EASY GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Add the chopped lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, onion slices, halved olives, half the feta and some parsley to a large bowl.
• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and chopped olives in a bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings (I almost always add a little more sugar).
• Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, then add some salt and pepper. Toss with tongs or clean hands. Just before serving, top with the remaining feta and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables. Add the feta and olives and toss lightly. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.
