Ingredients
-
½ Cucumber, diced
-
6-8 cherry tomatoes, halved
-
½ Red Onion, sliced
-
100g Feta Cheese in chunks
-
100g olives, sliced or whole
Optional - As a light meal
-
Top with chicken, salmon or eggs
Dressing
-
Pink Himalayan salt
-
Black pepper
-
1 tsp dried or fresh oregano
-
2 tsp olive oil
-
Juice of ½ lemon
-
1 tsp agave nectar or honey
Directions
Make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, honey, salt and black pepper until combined.
Place the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives and feta cheese into a large bowl.
Pour over the dressing and gently toss until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, or chill for 15 minutes before serving for a more developed flavour.
Top with grilled chicken, salmon or boiled eggs for a more substantial meal.
Recipe Note
Red onion is sweet and mild enough serve raw. To further take the edge off, a quick soak in ice water and a splash of red wine vinegar does the trick.
For the best flavour, use good-quality feta cheese and allow the salad to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
