Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cucumber ((unpeeled, seeded, and sliced ¼-inch thick))
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes ((or grape tomatoes, halved))
  • ½ red onion ((sliced in half rounds))
  • ½ lb feta cheese ((½-inch, diced not crumbled))
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives ((pitted))
  • 2 cloves garlic ((minced))
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper ((freshly ground))
  • ½ cup olive oil ((extra virgin))

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette by whisking together the garlic, oregano, mustard, red wine vinegar, salt & pepper. Continue whisking and slowly pour in the olive oil (this creates an emulsion).
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and add the feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Toss lightly.
  • Set the salad aside for 30 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Serve at room temperature.
