Execution Timeline

9 SEQUENTIAL TIMED STEPS

1CUT THE TOMATOES
4 MIN

Wash the tomatoes and cut each one into rough wedges, keeping the seeds and juice for the bowl.

2SLICE THE CUCUMBER
3 MIN

Peel the cucumber in alternating strips for texture, then slice it into thick half-moons.

3SLICE THE ONION AND PEPPER
4 MIN

Thinly slice the red onion into half-rings and cut the green bell pepper into thin rings, discarding the seeds and stem.

Tip: Slice the onion as thin as possible so its sharpness mellows quickly once dressed
4COMBINE THE VEGETABLES
2 MIN

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato wedges, cucumber, red onion, green bell pepper, and kalamata olives.

5WHISK THE DRESSING
2 MIN

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until combined.

6DRESS THE VEGETABLES
2 MIN

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently so every piece is lightly coated.

7LET THE SALAD MARINATE
5 MIN

Let the dressed vegetables sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flavors meld and the onion softens.

Tip: The tomatoes should start releasing a little juice into the dressing once properly rested
8TOP WITH FETA
1 MIN

Place the whole block of feta on top of the salad rather than crumbling it, in the traditional village-salad style.

9FINISH AND SERVE
2 MIN

Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the feta and sprinkle with a pinch of oregano just before serving.
