Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe summer tomatoes, cut into large wedges
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled in stripes and cut into thick chunks
  • ½ large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, whole
  • 5-6 oz Greek feta, cut into a thick slab (not crumbled)
  • ½ tsp dried Greek oregano

Dressing (Minimal & Classic)

  • ¼ cup fancy peasant olive oil
  • 2-3 tbsp fancy peasant vinegar (red wine-style preferred)
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Method

  1. Build the Base
    In a wide, shallow bowl, gently combine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives. Keep everything rustic and chunky.

  2. Season Simply
    Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and dried oregano.

  3. Finish with Oil & Vinegar
    Drizzle generously with the fancy peasant olive oil, then hit it with the vinegar for brightness.

  4. Top with Feta
    Lay the slab of feta right on top.
    Add one more small drizzle of olive oil over the cheese.

  5. Serve Immediately
    No tossing needed — let diners break the feta as they serve.
