Greek Village Salad

In honor of our Tomato Plant of the Month, our September recipe is a Greek Village Salad. This recipe is my go-to for a quick and light meal that easily uses all the excess tomatoes we have at this time of year.

Total Time: 10 min Serves 1-2

What you need:

SALAD INGREDIENTS:

1 large tomato, cut into wedges OR 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

dried oregano, salt, and cracked black pepper, to desired taste

**optional 1/4 cup black olives

To make the salad:

  • Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives, and crumbled feta.
  • Place in a medium bowl and toss with red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, let marinate for 15-20 minutes in fridge.
  • When ready to serve, add olive oil and place on plates.
  • Garnish with dried oregano to desired taste.
  • Enjoy!!
