Hello there, I'm looking for a recipe for Greek Salad (and dressing of course), the ones on the internet call for ingredients I've never seen in a greek salad, I love this dish, Can You please share with me "Real" simple recipe for Greek salad.?



Thanks very much.Greek People - Please share a "real" recipe?
Authentic Greek salad



Vine ripened tomato / quartered

Cucumber / peeled and sliced

Red onion / thinly sliced

Green pepper / thinly sliced

Kalamata olives

best-quality Greek Feta

Fresh oregano

Sea salt

Extra virgin olive oil, preferably Spanish

salt-cured capers, optional

white wine vinegar, optional



Put the tomato, cucumber, red onion, green pepper, and olives into a big bowl and sprinkle with generous amount of salt and little sprinkle of oregano. Mix it all together then top with a slab of Feta cheese.



Leave the bowl to stand on the side for 15 鈥?20 minutes. This will allow the salt to soak into the tomatoes and bring out the wonderful juice, and will also allow the cheese to get to room temperature (the flavor of cheese is best sampled at room temperature).



Just before you serve the dish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle more oregano on top.



Serve with chunks crusty bread for sopping up the liquid
