Description
A bright, crunchy salad with crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, and a simple olive oil dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Wash and dry the romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion. Chop the romaine into bite-size pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the cucumber and bell pepper into small, even pieces. Dice the red onion finely. Pit and roughly chop the Kalamata olives. Crumble the feta.
- Mixing: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
- Cooking: Whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until the dressing is blended. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Finishing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine so every bite gets a little dressing. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving for a cooler flavor.
Notes
For the best texture, serve immediately after dressing, or keep the dressing separate until serving.
