Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the dressing

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano plus extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the salad

  • 1 English cucumber halved and sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 4- ounce feta cheese diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup black olives pitted
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or shake them together in a jar until emulsified. Set aside.
  • Arrange the cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta, red onion, and olives on a large platter or in a salad bowl.
  • Drizzle the dressing evenly over the top and toss gently to coat everything.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of dried oregano and the fresh mint leaves just before serving.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve right away and enjoy.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Crumble the feta by hand if you like a more rustic look instead of perfect cubes
  • Fresh oregano is lovely here if you have it on hand, but the dried version still packs plenty of flavor
  • Add chickpeas or white beans if you want to make this a protein-packed vegetarian lunch
  • Store your dressing in a jar with a tight-fitting lid so you can shake and pour easily without dirtying extra dishes
