Greek Horiatiki Salad

• 4 large ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1 large English cucumber, sliced into half-moons
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced into rings
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 200g Kalamata olives
• 200g block of authentic Greek feta cheese
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (use the best quality)
• 1 tsp dried Greek oregano
• Sea salt and cracked black pepper
• Crusty bread to serve

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion in a large bowl or on a platter.

2. 2

   Add Kalamata olives.

3. 3

   Place the block of feta on top — do not crumble it. This is traditional.

4. 4

   Drizzle generously with olive oil over everything.

5. 5

   Sprinkle dried oregano over the feta and vegetables.

6. 6

   Season with sea salt (go easy — feta and olives are already salty) and cracked black pepper.

7. 7

   Let sit 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve with crusty bread.
