Healthy Greek Salad With Feta Cheese

OK so there’s no need for a BBQ but this healthy Greek salad is a great accompaniment to any barbecue cookout because it’s easy to prepare and the feta cheese makes it really tasty. It’s that great Mediterranean philosophy of fresh ingredients, basic flavors, a little olive oil and you can’t go wrong.

Feta cheese is made for either sheep or goats’ milk and is stored in brine so it’s a novel way to add salt and flavor to a salad. It’s also served in good bite sized chunks – something to get your teeth into.

This recipe creates one large salad, I like also to serve as individual prepared salads for better presentation and to ensure everyone gets some!

And if you’re ever in Greece, ask for Salata Therini

Ingredients:-

• 3 large tomatoes cut into wedges
• 1 cucumber, peeled and thickly sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 2 green peppers cut into rings
• 150g or 6oz feta cheese
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 dozen Greek kalamata olives
• Sprinkling dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:-

Throw all the vegetables into a salad bowl, mix up the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper and drizzle over the top. Dress with the olives, feta and a sprinkling of oregano and that’s all there is to it.
