Salad Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber, sliced into half moons
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup kalamata olives, halved
- ¼ of a red onion, thinly sliced
- 5 ounces feta cheese, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 large avocado, diced (or 2 small avocados)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Greek Vinaigrette
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Make the Greek Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and dried oregano until emulsified. Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator while you prepare the salad ingredients.
- Prepare the Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, halved kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onion, diced avocado, and cubed feta cheese. Gently toss the ingredients together to mix evenly.
- Season and Dress the Salad: Season the salad mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Drizzle the Greek vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until the salad is fully coated with the dressing.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest texture, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado to avoid mushiness in the salad.
- Kalamata olives add authentic flavor, but you can substitute with other black olives if unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of dressing to taste depending on preference.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- To make it vegan, omit the feta cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
