Greek Salad
(Kenny's Favourite!)
Greek salad, or horiatiki, is a rough country salad of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, sliced red onion, green pepper, crumbly feta cheese and plump kalamata olives. Serve this delightful combination as a side dish or as a light meal with some crusty bread.
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
|
1½ tablespoons lemon juice
|
1 clove garlic—minced
|
½ teaspoon dried oregano
|
¼ teaspoon sea salt
|
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and extra for garnish
|
3 tomatoes—cut into wedges
|
¼ red onion—sliced into rings
|
½ cucumber—sliced into thick half-moons
|
½ green pepper (capsicum)—julienned
|
4 oz (120g) feta cheese—cut into small cubes
|
PLACE the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano in a small jar with a screw-top lid and shake to combine. PLACE the salad ingredients in a large bowl. POUR the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine just before serving. Garnish the Greek salad with a little freshly ground black pepper.
