Greek Chopped Salad

Salad Ingredients:

1 container of grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
1 seedless cucumber, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
¼ cup of pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
1 6 oz. container Feta cheese, crumbled

Dressing Ingredients:

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Clove Garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Leaves
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
4-5 turns of Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

Mix all salad ingredients in a bowl. For dressing, mix all ingredients in a salad dressing container or jar. Shake until combined well. Pour as much as you want on the salad, I usually only use ¾ of it and save the rest.

Extra salad dressing should be stored in the fridge. Take dressing out 10-15 minutes prior to using to warm up the solidified oil.
