Authentic Greek salad is one of the greatest ways to enjoy the best of what's in season in summer. All the vegetables are at their peak. Sweet, crispy and juicy. The cheese creamy and fresh, and the olive oil fresh. The olives perfectly marinated. And, if you have fresh oregano, Bonus!
Peel and cut the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, and red onion and put in a bowl.
Add the olives, salt and vinegar.
Give it a gentle toss.
Place the salad into a serving bowl and lay large chunks of feta on top.
Sprinkle with some dried or fresh oregano and drizzle with olive oil.
Finish with freshly ground black pepper and serve straight away. With a chilled glass of rose or white wine of course.
Notes
Quality - The taste of this salad is fully dependant on great quality produce. Follow the guide on ingredients in the post and you won't be disappointed.Storage - Greek salad does not store well. Once it is made you have to eat it straight away. If you do have leftovers. You could use it as a kind of dipping/topping for freshly toasted sourdough bread the next day.
