Ultimate Salad

Ingredients

• Tomato
• Cucumber
• Onion
• Pepers
• Salt
• Green Olives
• Feta Cheese
• Oregano
• Salt
• Olive Oil

Directions

Wash and slice the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes and sliced onion to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice (or vinegar). Season with salt and black pepper. Gently toss everything together. Add fresh basil or parsley if you like. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so the flavors come together.

Notes

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. They make the biggest difference. Salt just before serving if you want the tomatoes to stay firm; salt draws out moisture. Don’t overmix. Gently toss so the tomatoes don’t become mushy. Add fresh herbs at the end for the best flavor. For a richer salad, add feta. For some crunch, try cucumber or bell pepper. If using vinegar, red wine vinegar or balsamic works particularly well.
