Simple Greek Salad recipe: -

Prep time: 10-12 minutes

Serves 3

8oz(220g) of ripe cherry vine tomatoes, halved
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium cucumber, de-seeded & chopped
5oz(150g) Light feta cheese, small dice
12 pitted black olives, thinly sliced
12 Fresh oregano leaves, optional

For the dressing:
3 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp of red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp of dried oregano
Freshly ground sea salt and white pepper



First take the cucumber and using a speed-peeler remove the skin. Then half it length-ways, then half each piece length-ways again.

Then take each piece and remove all of the watery centre part that contains the seeds, chop into equal sized 1cm wide chunks then place them in a large bowl.

Next take the thinly sliced onion and add it to the bowl taking care to separate the slices. Quarter the tomatoes and add them to the bowl along with the sliced olives, then combine.

When your ready to serve the salad combine the dressing ingredients in a container with a tight lid, a jam jar is ideal. Shake vigorously to combine; the dressing should be emulsified when you've finished shaking. Check the dressing for seasoning and alter it to suit.

Next add some of the dressing to the bowl and combine so that all the ingredients are covered in dressing; if needed add some more until your happy that everything is coated.

Then simply add the feta cheese and oregano leaves and gently combine, then your simple Greek salad is ready to serve.
