Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cucumbers (peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices)
- 4–6 roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons oregano, dried
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to your liking
- Black olives, pitted and sliced (add to taste)
Instructions
- Combine the Vegetables: Start by placing cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions into a large bowl.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a smaller bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed to form a tangy dressing.
- Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl. Mix well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle feta cheese and olives over the top of the salad. Gently mix these ingredients in, being careful not to crush the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning or add more spices if necessary.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad until you are ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Once chilled, serve the salad and enjoy a fresh, vibrant dish!
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or radishes for more crunch.
