Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 1 English cucumber halved and sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives pitted
  • 6 oz feta cheese cut into cubes
Dressing
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Soak the sliced onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite, then drain.
  2. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Combine the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper and olives in a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
  4. Top with the feta, sprinkle with a pinch more oregano and serve.

Notes

Dress the salad just before serving so the cucumber stays crisp. Leftovers keep for a day in the fridge.
