Ingredients
- 3 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 coloured pepper, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup goat feta cheese, crumbled
- fresh oregano for garnishing
- fresh parsley, chopped for garnishing (optional)
Dressing:
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 11/2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or vinegar
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- salt and pepper, to season
Instructions
- Arrange sliced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and pepper is using on large serving plate. Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables.
- Whisk together in a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper, and garlic if you so desire. Pour the dressing over the salad, and garnish with fresh oregano leaves.
- Serve immediately. I prefer the tomatoes at room temperature, since they are most flavourful rather then refrigerated. If you prefer to refrigerate the salad, then I suggest for only about 20 minutes.
