Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 vine-ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 medium red onion, sliced thinly
1/2 seedless cucumber, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 cup kalamata olive (I like to buy the already pitted version)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 lb feta cheese (Greek imported feta cheese is best)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
pita bread (amount is up to you)

Steps:

  • Mix all the veggies, olives and parsley into a large bowl. Crumble or slice the feta cheese over the salad. Combine the oil, vinegar and oregano - either shake it together in a jar or whisk. Pour the dressing over the salad - don't pour it all in at once, instead pour the amount to taste. Season your salad with salt and pepper and let it marinate until you're ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, you can quickly grill your pita bread (or use a hot griddle or grill pan). Grill until the pita gets blistered and warm on both sides.
  • Serve the grilled pita alongside the salad and enjoy!
