Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 1 large cucumber peeled and cut into ½” slices
- 1 lb tomatoes cut into quarters
- ½ cup red onion sliced thin
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 2 avocados pitted and cut into chunks
- 1 cup feta cheese
For the Dressing:
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 gloves garlic grated
- 2 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- To make the dressing, add all of the dressing ingredients into a small mixing bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake well to combine and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, parsley, bell pepper, feta cheese and avocados.
- Pour the desired amount of dressing on top of the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with additional feta cheese if desired.
Notes
- Make sure you slice the red onions thinly to make sure the sharpness of their flavor is dispersed.
- I recommend adding a bit of dressing first and then adding more after tasting your salad. You may prefer more or less vinegar taste than I do!
- If you’re out of red onions, try using shallots in their place.
- Some cucumbers have thick skin and a waxy coating. I recommend peeling those cucumbers before using them, as they can taste tough and bitter.
- Make sure to chop your vegetables into similar sizes, so you get a little bit of everything with each bite.
