• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 3 tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 1 red onion
• 1 cup green pepper
• 1 cup red pepper
• 1⁄2 cup olive
• 4 ounces feta cheese
• 2⁄3 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• pepper

directions

1. Dice up the vegetables- I usually use a small red onion as I don't like it to overpower the salad. You can adjust the vegetables to your tastes.
2. Place the vegetables in a bowl along with the olives and feta cheese.
3. Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
4. Usually I let everything sit and marinate in the fridge for approximately 1/2 an hour. This seems to marry the flavours! I like to serve it in a clear serving bowl as the colours are so fresh and appealing.

I altered the veggies to our taste/what was on hand. I didn't have a cucumber and we don't like red peppers. I added some chopped peppercinis and some freshly chopped parsley. Everything else I followed exactly and served it with the Chicken Souvlaki. EXCELLENT dish. I couldn't leave it alone while it was marinating it was so tasty. I hope to try it again soon with the cucumber but even missing it, the salad was still a colorful five star.
