Ingredients
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 large cucumber, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup feta cheese, cubed
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley.
2. Slice cherry tomatoes in halves, chop the cucumber into bite-sized chunks, and thinly slice the red onion.
3. Place all vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
4. Cut the block of feta cheese into 1/2-inch cubes and add to the bowl.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
7. Toss gently with a spoon or tongs to combine without crumbling the feta.
8. Let the salad rest for 10 minutes before serving, if time allows.
Notes
Use block feta instead of crumbled for better texture and flavor.
Soak sliced red onion in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce sharpness.
Add the dressing just before serving to keep veggies crisp.
