Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 Persian cucumbers, halved and sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled in large chunks
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved and pitted
Instructions
Whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Add the sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and halved olives to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Notes
Try to chop your vegetables into similar sizes. This ensures that each bite offers a balanced mix of flavors and textures, and it also makes the salad look more appealing.
Start with about half of the dressing and add more as needed. You want to coat the ingredients, not drown them, so you can better appreciate the natural flavors of the vegetables.
Use the freshest ingredients you can find. Ripe tomatoes and crisp cucumbers make a world of difference in the final taste.
Using block feta packed in brine will give you a creamier texture and more authentic flavor than pre-crumbled varieties, which can sometimes be drier.
