1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (60g)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (30g)
1Â tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed (15g)
1Â garlic clove, grated on Microplane (or finely minced)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (leaves from about 4 sprigs) (optional but recommended)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (3g)
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard (1.5g)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (1g), or more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
For the Salad
3 medium garden-fresh cucumbers, coarsely chopped (about 13 ounces) (375g) (sub Persian cucumbers or 1 seeded English cucumber)Â
1 large vine-ripened tomato, coarsely chopped (about 11 ounces) (300g) (sub 2 large Roma tomatoes or 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes)
6 ounces feta cheese, cubed or crumbled(200g)
1/2 cup cured Kalamata olives (85g)
1/2 cup green Italian Cerignola(85g) (sub Kalamata olives)
1/4 cup red onions, sliced paper thin (15g)
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (7g)
1 tablespoon grated Grana Padano cheese (10g) (sub Parmesan or Parmigiano cheese)
*For a traditional Greek salad add 1 coarsely chopped green bell pepper and omit the green olives and Grana Padano cheese.Â
1. Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, dried and fresh oregano, mustard, salt, and pepper.
2. Assemble the salad: Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and olives to a large mixing bowl and 4 tablespoons of the dressing (or more as desired) and gently toss to combine. Add the feta cheese and mint and gently toss to combine (adding the feta last like this keeps the cheese from totally falling apart as you combine the ingredients). Add the salad to a serving platter, sprinkle with a sprig of fresh oregano or extra mint, and Enjoy!
