Greek Salad

This classic greek salad recipe is perfect for hot summer picnic days. If you can get fresh tomatoes and cucumber from your garden or local farmers market, it is even more special!

Greek Salad Ingredients:

3	large ripe tomatoes*
	*(cherry tomatoes also work quite well)
1	English cucumber, chopped
half	red onion, chopped
1/2 cup	feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup	black olives (such as Kalamata)

Dressing Ingredients:

1/4 cup	extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp.	oregano
2 tbsp.	lemon juice
	salt and pepper (to taste)

Seed and chop the tomatoes into chunks. Cut the cucumber into similar sized pieces. (You may peel the cucumber, but I find it unnecessary.) Place the vegetables into a transportable bowl that you will take to your picnic. Add the chopped onions.

In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Pour over the vegetables, mixing well. Sprinkle the olives and feta cheese over the salad.

Keep chilled until picnic time.
