Classic Greek Salad

Ingredients

• 4 ripe tomatoes
• 1 English cucumber
• 1/2 red onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
• 6 oz block feta cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• salt and black pepper

Steps

1. 1Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, and olives in a wide, shallow bowl or platter.
2. 2Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper, then pour over the vegetables and toss gently.
3. 3Lay the block of feta whole on top rather than crumbling it — the traditional presentation, meant to be broken apart at the table.
4. 4Finish with a crack of black pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Serve with warm pita.
