Greek Salad





If you're used to eating vinegar-based Greek salads, this traditional version--made with lemon juice--will be a delightful change. Prep Time: about 30 minutes. Notes: You can prepare through step 2 up to 4 hours ahead; cover and chill vegetables and dressing separately. Just before serving, pour cucumber mixture into a colander to drain off any liquid, then return to bowl and mix with feta cheese and dressing.



2 English cucumbers, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 pounds tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium red onion, chopped, then rinsed and drained

1 1/3 cups coarsely chopped parsley

1 1/3 cups drained pitted kalamata olives, halved if large

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 pound feta cheese

Salt and fresh-ground pepper



1. In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, parsley, and olives.

2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano.



3. Break feta cheese into about 1/2-inch chunks and add to cucumber mixture. Add dressing and mix gently, adding salt and pepper to taste.
