How to make Traditional Greek Salad

The only thing I was determined to do after having had several traditional Greek salads while in Greece was to recreate it. They look so much more simpler than those served in some restaurants in England. The recreation is a success and is similar to the ones we had in Greece. It is absolutely delicious. Definitely a recommendation from me. Don't believe me? Try it!

Here's what you need.

• 2-4 Beef tomatoes; depending on size.
  
• 2 Red onions, sliced into semi-rings.
  
• 1 cucumber, thick quarts.
  
• 2/3 Cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  
• 5-10 whole black olives; or any of your favorites.
  
• 200g Feta cheese, cut into slabs.
  
• Oregano
  
• 2 Tbsp Lemon juice.
  
• Pinch of salt (optional)
  

Preparation time: 7-10 minutes
Serves: 2-3 people

Methods
1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash them thoroughly. Cut them, illustrated (below).
2. Pour in olive oil, olives and lemon juice. Mix well with salad. If you like, sprinkle a pinch of salt in.
3. Dish out.
4. Place feta slabs on salad or on the side.
5. Sprinkle some oregano on the feta cheese (mmmmmhh!)
6. Enjoy!

The main ingredients to a delicious traditional Greek salad!

Cucumbers cut into quarters. Best if all your vege's are chilled.

The way to dice the tomatoes. Not too wide, not too narrow. Bite size cubes would be perfect!

All in.

There is no need to cube feta cheese. Just feta slabs. Break them into the size you wish with your fork or whatever utensils you use when having salads.

The finished product. Mmmm... cheese!
