Ingredients
- 1 tomato heirloom, large and sliced into wedges or chunks
- 1 cucumber sliced into thin rounds or pieces
- 1 pepper green or red, sliced into pieces
- 1 cup feta cheese cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dill weed dried
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Tomatoes: Wash and slice the heirloom tomatoes into wedges or chunks. If your tomatoes are large, you can cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the Cucumber: Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or chunks. You can peel the cucumber if desired, but it’s not necessary.
- Slice the Pepper: Slice the pepper into chunks.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and pepper. Season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the Feta Cheese: Cut the feta cheese into small cubes and add it to the salad ingredients. Feta adds a creamy and tangy element to the salad.
- Toss Gently: Carefully toss all the salad ingredients together to ensure everything is coated with the dressing and the flavors are well distributed.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Start with a recommended portion of the dressing and add more as needed, depending on your preference for dressing.
- Garnish with more Feta and Dill Weed: Add the crumbled feta, dill weed (fresh or dried), and optional mint leaves to the salad for freshness and flavor.
- You can immediately serve your Greek salad with heirloom tomatoes on a serving platter as a refreshing appetizer, a side dish, or a full meal. It’s great on its own or alongside grilled meats, fish, or as part of a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
- Optional: Add some Kalamata olives on top for the authentic Greek experience.
