A classic Greek salad with crisp cucumbers, ripe tomatoes, tangy feta, and briny olives, dressed simply with olive oil and lemon.

Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into rings
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
• 4 ounces feta cheese, sliced or crumbled
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and olives.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss gently to coat.
4. Top with feta cheese and serve immediately.

Tips

• For best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes.
• Can be made ahead without dressing; add dressing and feta just before serving.
