Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 large cucumbers chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup mixed olives
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mint chopped, optional
For the Dressing
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl: cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives, feta, parsley, and mint if using.
  2. Whisk the dressing by combining olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  4. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving so the flavors settle in. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

English or Persian cucumbers work best. The 10 minute rest is not optional. That is when the flavors settle.
