Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 168kcal
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Salad:
- 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 small green bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 large cucumber sliced
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup red onion chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled or cubed
Instructions
- To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl or jar with a tightly fitting lid, and whisk or shake well to combine. (This can be done in advance and stored in the fridge for at least a week. Simply give the dressing another strong shake before adding it to the salad.)
- To assemble the salad, combine tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, olives, and onion in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Add dressing to taste, starting with a small amount -- you can always add more. Toss, add more dressing as desired, then top with the feta. Serve right away.
Notes
- Extra dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for at least a week. Simply give the dressing another strong shake before adding it to another salad.
- If you want to add lettuce, romaine, green leaf, red leaf, baby spinach, or a spring mix are all good options.
