How to make an authentic Greek Salad

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat feta cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Lower in calories and fat, or more budget-friendly.

Start by selecting seasonal ingredients for the best flavor.

Chop the tomatoes into any desired size.

Chop the cucumbers; peeling is optional, but leaving the skin on retains nutrients.

Add a little pepper to enhance the flavors of the tomatoes and cucumbers.

Slice the red onion finely for better flavor absorption.

Scatter pitted kalamata olives over the salad.

Add a slab of feta cheese on top of the salad.

Drizzle Greek balsamic vinegar on the side of the feta, not directly on top.

Sprinkle salt on the side of the salad as well.

Generously drizzle olive oil over the salad to blend with the juices from the tomatoes.

Finally, sprinkle oregano over the salad.
