A refreshing Greek salad bursting with flavor and fresh ingredients, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 English cucumber, sliced into rounds
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, whole and pitted
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large serving bowl, lay down a bed of chopped romaine lettuce, allowing its leafy greens to create a vibrant foundation.
- Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and thinly sliced red onions over the lettuce, inviting a medley of colors into play.
- Scatter the whole Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese across the top, adding visual appeal and inviting indulgence.
- In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until all ingredients combine effortlessly into a smooth dressing.
- Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Finish with an extra pinch of cracked black pepper on top for a bit of flair.
- If you’re preparing the salad ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and store it in the fridge. Dress the salad right before serving to maintain its crispness.
