INGREDIENTS


3 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped


1 green bell pepper, sliced


1 small English cucumber, chopped


1 small onion, chopped


1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)


2 ounces tomato basil feta cheese, crumbled


1/4 cup olive oil


1 teaspoon red wine vinegar


1 teaspoon lemon juice


1 clove garlic, minced


1/2 teaspoon dried oregano


salt and pepper to taste








DIRECTIONS


In a salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, onion and olives.


Whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Let sit for 1 hour, occasionally stirring to blend flavors.


Pour dressing over salad, add feta cheese and toss before serving.






It's up to you to figure out how much salad you want to make at any given time, so I won't give you ingredient amounts.





Tomatoes, sliced to bite size


English cucumber, sliced to bite size


Red onion, thinly sliced (1/8 inch) and cut across layers so that pieces are about 1 inch long.


Put all ingredients in a bowl and add olive oil and oregano. Mix and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.


Then add fresh squeezed lemon juice, a little more oil and oregano and mix.


Add feta cheese over the top and serve.





NOTE: It is really important to refrigerate at the beginning to allow the oil to bring out the flavour of the oregano. It's up to you to figure out the best oil/lemon juice combination. It will take a few tries.


Never use Real Lemon or the like - always fresh squeezed lemon juice.



Peel and cut a cucumber into pieces; cut up about 2 fresh tomatoes; cut up about 1/4 onion .... mix with feta cheese, kalamata olives and Greek Salad dressing
dont have a recipe but i know Panera Bread has a good greek salad.
