How to Make Country Style Greek Salad

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the sliced red onion and chopped cucumber to the bowl and gently toss to coat with the vinaigrette.
  3. Let the onion and cucumber mixture stand for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step helps to mellow the onion’s sharpness.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, parsley, mint, and green bell pepper (if using) to the bowl.
  5. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the tomatoes and other vegetables intact.
  6. Transfer the salad to a wide, shallow serving bowl or platter.
  7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and Kalamata olives over the top of the salad.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of this classic Greek salad!
