Ingredients
- 1/4 large red onion (sliced thin)
- 4 large tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 medium English Cucumber (chopped)
- 1 cup kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup fresh mint (chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 -2 cups feta cheese (crumbled or chopped)
- 3 & 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 small cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Steps
-
Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, combine red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, and oregano. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the olive oil over the mixture so that it emulsifies. Set aside.
-
Slice the onions very thin, and place in a small bowl. Cover with cold water and set aside for 10 minutes or so. This will take some of the bite out of the onion. (If you are a hard core raw onion lover, skip this step!)
-
Chop the tomatoes into bite size pieces. Place in a colander over the sink to drain.
-
Chop the cucumbers and add to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Add the kalamata olives, fresh mint, and fresh dill.
-
Pat the onions dry with a paper towel and add to the bowl. Add the tomatoes. Toss it all together gently.
-
Top with crumbled or chopped feta (next time I'm chopping a block into chunks!) Add as much as you like. Taste it to see if it needs more salt, pepper, or oregano. Toss gently and serve immediately.
