Meatless Monday: A Visit To The Mediterranean!

By: NewNaturalista

Many years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Greece – I fell deeply in love. Maybe in another life I was Greek, because I LOVE Greek food – olives, feta, vinegar, olive oil – all of my food staples!  This Meatless Monday feast your eyes (and your tummy) on this cool horiatiki summer salad by Jamie Oliver.

Ingredients

• 125g Greek feta, crumbled into chunks
• 2 green peppers, deseeded and sliced
• 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
• handful of kalamata olives
• 5 ripe tomatoes, sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3–4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3–4 tbsp red wine vinegar

Serves 4

This ubiquitous summer salad has become synonymous with lazy summer lunches in Greek tavernas by the sea.

1 Combine all the ingredients except the oregano, oil and vinegar in a salad bowl. Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with the oregano, season with freshly ground black pepper and dress with the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
