Instructions

  1. Put the tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper and red onion in a wide bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and toss gently.

  2. Scatter the olives over the vegetables and drizzle with the vinegar and most of the olive oil.

  3. Set the block of feta on top, drizzle it with the rest of the oil and sprinkle everything with the oregano. Serve with bread to mop up the juices.

Notes

  • Traditional Greek salad has no lettuce. The tomato juices and oil make the dressing, so use the ripest tomatoes you can find.
  • Best eaten within an hour of making it.
