- 4 firm ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges
- half a cucumber, peeled, split in half and then sliced thinly
- a green bell pepper, de-seeded and thinly sliced in rings
- a mild onion, thinly sliced in rings
- salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons of virgin olive oil
- 150 g (5oz) of feta cheese, cubed
- at least 12 black olives
- small bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
- a few sprigs of oregano or marjoram
Put the salad ingredients into a bowl, sprinkle with a little salt (be careful here because the cheese could be very salty), freshly ground black pepper and olive oil before tossing well. Then arrange the feta cheese, olives and herbs on top, to complete this Greek salad.
