Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic Greek salad with feta cheese, tomatoes and olives? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is better to use red onion, it has a milder taste. You will need juice from the lemon, so you can use store-bought juice. Lemon juice can be replaced with wine vinegar. Instead of feta cheese, you can use feta. Take high-quality olives. Read about how to choose the right olives at the end of the recipe. Wash and dry all the vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the tomatoes into slices. Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during cutting and cooking, they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the bell pepper and remove its stem. Cut the pulp into semicircles.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the cucumbers into slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the onion into half rings. To prevent the onion from stinging your eyes, rinse it and your knife with cold water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the cheese into medium cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Combine vegetables in a salad bowl, add sugar, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Season the salad with olive oil and lemon juice. Stir gently. You can also add lettuce: iceberg, frillis.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add cheese and olives. Sprinkle everything with dried oregano. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to steep. Bon appetit!

For lunch I decided to make a classic Greek salad with feta cheese. The tomatoes were not a bright color, so I added a little red in addition to the green bell pepper. I like adding lemon juice to vegetable salads, so I squeezed lemon juice for the dressing. I didn’t add salt; the saltiness of the cheese was enough for me. Very juicy, tasty and aromatic! And of course there are undoubted benefits! Thanks for the recipe, Maria!
