Easy Greek Chopped Salad (6 Ingredients!) | Healthy, High-Fiber, Full of Flavor

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat feta

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Low-fat feta reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Start with a medium to large mixing bowl.

Dice one cucumber, preferably an English or seedless cucumber, into bite-sized pieces.

Quarter approximately one pint of cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl.

Thinly slice half of a small red onion and add it to the salad. If desired, soak the onion in cold water for 5-10 minutes to reduce its bite, then drain before adding.

Dice 4 oz of feta cheese from an 8 oz block into small cubes and add to the salad.

Drizzle a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the salad.

Add red wine vinegar to taste, or substitute with lemon juice if preferred.

Season the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste as needed.

Toss the salad to combine all ingredients and coat with the dressing.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or olive oil if needed.

Let the salad sit in the fridge for about half an hour to enhance the flavors before serving.
