Ingredients

• 200 grams Feta cheese
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 100 grams Kalamata olives
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor or blender, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a uniform texture. Transfer the feta mousse to a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the salad.

Step 2

Wash and dry all the vegetables. Peel the cucumber if desired and slice it into half-moons. Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes depending on their size. Thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, and Kalamata olives. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients.

Step 4

To assemble the salad, evenly divide the vegetable mixture onto individual plates or a serving platter. Using a spoon or piping bag, add dollops or swirls of the chilled feta mousse atop the salad.

Step 5

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Greek Salad with Feta Mousse as a light appetizer or side dish!
