No lettuce, no apology — just sun-ripened tomatoes, crisp cucumber, olives and a proud slab of feta under oregano and olive oil.

Prep 15 min Cook 0 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

Salt1/2 tsp
Tomato4, cut into wedges
Bell Pepper1, sliced
Olive Oil4 tbsp, extra virgin
Dried Oregano1 tsp, Greek if possible
Vinegar1 tbsp (red wine vinegar)
Cucumber1, thick half-moons
Red Onion1, thinly sliced
Feta Cheese200 g, one thick slab
Kalamata Olives1 cup

Instructions

1
Soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes to tame its sharpness, then drain.
2
Place tomato wedges, cucumber, bell pepper and onion in a wide, shallow bowl — never a deep one.
3
Sprinkle with salt and half the oregano, then dress with vinegar and most of the olive oil. Toss gently once.
4
Lay the feta on top as one whole slab — breaking it crumbles the texture and the tradition.
5
Shower the feta with the remaining oregano and finish with the last of the olive oil.
6
Serve immediately with bread to mop the famous juice at the bottom of the bowl.

Chef's tip

In Greece the feta stays whole and un-tossed — everyone breaks off pieces with their fork as they eat.
