Ingredients:

  • 1 large (approx. 1 lb / 450g) English cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup (75g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 oz (170g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (90g) Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Dice the cucumber into 1/2 inch cubes and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  2. Combine the cucumber, tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Pour the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper into a mason jar.
  4. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture looks creamy and unified.
  5. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mix.
  6. Toss the vegetables gently with a spoon for about 1 minute until every piece is glistening.
  7. Add the crumbled feta and halved Kalamata olives to the bowl.
  8. Fold the cheese and olives in with a spoon until just combined. Do not over stir or the feta will smear and cloud the dressing.
  9. Serve immediately or let it sit for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
