Greek Salad

1. Preparation

Gather all ingredients: cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, olives, feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Wash and dry the cucumbers and tomatoes.

Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise and then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Cut the tomatoes into wedges or bite-sized chunks.

Peel the red onion and slice it thinly.

Chop the bell pepper into small pieces.

If using whole olives, pit them if necessary, otherwise, leave them whole.

Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks or leave it in bigger blocks if preferred.

2. Mixing Ingredients

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced onion, and chopped bell pepper.

Add the olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.

3. Tossing the Salad

Gently toss all the ingredients together using salad tongs or spoons, ensuring the dressing evenly coats the vegetables and cheese.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.

4. Serving

Transfer the Greek salad to a serving bowl or plate.

Garnish with extra feta cheese or olives if desired.

Serve immediately as a side dish or light meal.
