Classic Greek Salad
The key to a superb Greek salad is to use the best quality ingredients you can find. It is worth seeking out a superlative olive oil, for instance, and really good tomatoes

Total time:
15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 350g flavoursome tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled and finely sliced into rounds
- 1 red onion, halved and finely sliced
- 1 green pepper, halved, cored and finely sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3-4 tbsp Greek extra virgin olive oil
- 200g Feta cheese, finely sliced
- Pinch of dried oregano
- 12 black Greek olives
Method
- Quarter the tomatoes and remove their tough white core before slicing each quarter into thin wedges.
- Mix the tomato wedges with the cucumber, onion and pepper and season very lightly before gently tossing in olive oil to taste.
