Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cucumbers sliced
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes or sliced tomatoes
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup kalamata olives
  • Feta cheese 8 oz cut into small cubes
  • 1 small green pepper sliced
  • ½ + cup red wine vinegar dressing store-bought or homemade
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • DRESSING
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • If you're making our homemade red wine vinegar dressing, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Combine. If you're using bottled dressing, skip this step.
  • Prep the cucumber tomato salad ingredients by slicing the onions, cucumber, and green pepper. You can leave the grape tomatoes whole or if you're using regular-sized tomatoes instead, cut them into wedges.
  • Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and kalamata olives to a bowl. Drizzle with the red wine vinegar dressing, dried oregano, and sea salt and combine the ingredients together. Sprinkle with feta cheese cubes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Sprinkling the feta over the top of the salad at the end or on the side makes it easy to serve this as a dairy-free option.
  • The feta can be cubed or served in large squares on top (which is the authentic Greek way).
  • Traditional Greek salad drizzles the salad with red wine vinegar and olive oil, our version uses red wine vinegar dressing but the traditional version can be made instead.
  • Other variations include mixing in cubed pre-cooked chicken, avocado, or cooked quinoa.
