Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables

    Gather all ingredients and wash the 150g (2 pieces) Roma Tomato, 150g (0.5 piece) Cucumber, and 60g (0.5 piece) green Bell Pepper. Slice the tomatoes into irregular wedges and the cucumber into thick half-moons, then thinly slice the 30g (0.25 piece) Red Onion into translucent slivers.

    5 min
  2. Emulsify the dressing

    The vegetables are now prepped and waiting in the mixing bowl. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the 30ml (2 tbsp) Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 15ml (1 tbsp) Red Wine Vinegar, 0.5 tsp of the Dried Oregano, and a pinch each of Sea Salt (fine) and Black Pepper (ground).

    2 min
  3. Toss the base

    The dressing should be fully emulsified and the vegetables ready in the bowl. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers, then add the 30g (8 pieces) Kalamata Olives and toss gently with your hands or large spoons until every piece is glistening.

    1 min
  4. Add the feta

    The salad base is now dressed and seasoned. Transfer the mixture to a serving plate and place the 60g (2.1 oz) slab of Feta Cheese directly on top, or break it into 3-4 large chunks. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 tsp of Dried Oregano over the cheese.

    2 min
  5. Rest and serve

    The salad is fully assembled with the feta on top. Let the dish sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetable juices to mingle with the dressing.
