Instructions
Traditional Greek salad
- First, remove the core from the green pepper and peel the onion. Then, slice both vegetables into rings. Next, cut the Roma tomatoes into quarters or eighths lengthwise.
- To assemble the salad, start by layering a shallow serving bowl with cucumber slices, tomatoes, and green peppers. Then, arrange the onion slices and Kalamata olives over the vegetables.
- For the finishing touch, slice the Greek feta into large triangular or square pieces and scatter a few pieces over the salad. Finally, drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of white balsamic vinegar over the salad. Don’t forget to sprinkle some oregano for a burst of flavour. Enjoy!
Optional dressing
- To make the optional oregano and dijon salad dressing, whisk by hand or use an electric blender such as a Ninja or a mini food processor.
- Add all the ingredients to the blender and pulse a few times until well blended and emulsified.
- If your food processor has a small hole in the lid, you can slowly drizzle the olive oil through it to achieve a smooth, creamy, and emulsified dressing.
