Ingredients
Scale
2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (for vinaigrette)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for vinaigrette)
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar (for vinaigrette)
1 clove garlic, minced (for vinaigrette)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (for vinaigrette)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (for vinaigrette)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the Lemon Greek Vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
Pour the prepared Lemon Greek Vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat the veggies evenly with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh dill on top.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
This salad is best served fresh, but you can refrigerate it for up to a day.
Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or avocados for added nutrition.
Adjust the seasoning based on your taste preference.
