Background

One of my favorite Summer salads is the Greek salad because it's very easy to make and can be served as a main for a light lunch or a side dish with grilled fish and meat. Also, it can be made in advance so it's perfect for summer parties, barbecues and picnics. Despite the fact that it's a simple salad there are hundreds of recipes to create the "perfect" or authentic Greek salad - this is a super easy version, using the basic ingredients and served with a super simple vinaigrette. Serve it with toasted or grilled pitta!

Ingredients

3 ripe tomatoes (on the vine)
½ cucumber
½ red onion
1 handful of black or Kalamata olives (pitted)
100g feta cheese
½ tsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp olive oil
1Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp chopped mint

Instructions

Slice the tomatoes into wedges.
Cut the cucumber in half ( lengthwise) and scoop out the seeds and discard. Cut it into rough, 2 cm cubes.
Thinly slice the onion. Drain, then cut the feta into 2 cm pieces.
Put the tomatoes, onion, cucumber and feta in a serving bowl. Add the mint and olives.
Mix the oil, lemon juice and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad, then toss gently.
