In my opinion, this classic is one of the most flavour-packed and delicious salads ever created. It is also bursting with vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants from the fresh, raw vegetables, plus it provides a range of different phytonutrients from the different coloured vegetables. Feta is a sheep’s milk cheese, which is easier to digest than cow’s milk products and is less likely to cause allergies and intolerances. You could serve the salad with toasted wholemeal pitta bread to make this a more substantial lunch.
Serves 4
Ingredients
250g (9oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 large red onion, diced
1 cucumber, quartered lengthways and sliced into triangular chunks
100g (4oz) Kalamata olives, pitted
juice of half a lemon
2 tsp dried oregano
freshly ground black pepper
200g (7oz) feta cheese, cut into small chunks
Directions
Stir all the ingredients, except the feta, together in a bowl.
2 Mix in the feta, but do it gently, as too much mixing can turn the rest of the salad a milky colour, which loses the effect of the vibrant colours.
