Step 1 – Prepare Vegetables
Cut cucumbers into 1-inch chunks. Cut tomatoes into wedges. Thinly slice red onion. Cut bell pepper into 1-inch chunks. Cut feta into large cubes (don’t crumble).
Step 2 – Make Dressing
Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Set aside to let flavors meld.
Step 3 – Assemble
Add cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and olives to large serving bowl. Place feta cubes on top (don’t mix in yet). Pour dressing over salad. Toss gently just before serving. Be careful not to break up feta too much.
Step 4 – Serve
Garnish with extra oregano if desired. Serve immediately at room temperature. Don’t refrigerate dressed salad.
💡 Pro Tips
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized chunks for best presentation
- Use best quality olive oil and feta you can find – they make a huge difference
- Authentic Greek salad has no lettuce – it’s all about the vegetables
- Don’t overdress – vegetables should glisten, not be swimming
- Serve at room temperature – flavors are more pronounced
- Storage: Best eaten fresh. Store components separately if making ahead
