Ingredients
3 cups chopped tomatoes
1 large cucumber, sliced
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup kalamata olives
¾ cup feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives.
Add feta cheese on top.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar or lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad.
Toss gently to combine without breaking the feta too much.
Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
Add dressing just before serving to prevent excess moisture.
Use block feta in brine for best flavor.
Customize with bell peppers or fresh herbs.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Stir before serving as vegetables may release liquid.
