Ingredients

• 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 0.75 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the romaine lettuce hearts under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Peel the cucumber, if desired, and cut it into thin slices or small chunks. Add the cucumber to the salad bowl.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad. If the flavor of raw red onion is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 5–10 minutes, then drain before adding.

Step 5

Add the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until the dressing is well emulsified.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
