Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 pints grape tomatoes cut in half
  • 2 English cucumber halved, seeded, and cut into ½ inch pieces

  • ¼ cup Italian parsley chopped
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives pitted, cut in half
  • 4 oz feta cheese cut into cubes
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • First, you will make the simple vinaigrette by adding the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and dried oregano to a small bowl. Whisk until just combined. Then add the red onion slices to the small bowl and set the bowl aside.
  • Then, in a large bowl, add the grape tomatoes, cucumber, chopped basil, parsley, olives, and feta cubes.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss together. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips

  • This recipe is perfect for a party, a backyard BBQ, or a picnic. And since this recipe is best served immediately, I recommend cutting the recipe in half if you only need 4 rather than 8 servings.
  • If bringing this Greek salad to a party, keep the vinaigrette and vegetables in separate containers and combine when ready to serve.
