Instructions

Dressing Instructions

Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl and stir.

Greek Salad Instructions

Wash tomatoes, cucumber, and green bell pepper by rinsing under cool water. Rub them gently as you rinse to remove any dirt and pat dry on a paper towel or clean dish towel.
Cut cucumbers into thin half-moon pieces.
Cut grape tomatoes in half.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the green bell pepper and slice into thin strips.
Peel onion and cut into very thin half circles.
Place the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions into a mixing bowl.
Add crumbled cheese, drained olives, and dressing. Toss the salad until everything has a nice even coating of Homemade Greek Dressing.
Place in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.

Notes

Let salad marinate in the dressing for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Store Traditional Greek Salad in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Cut the onion slices as thin as you can manage so that they soften in the dressing and distribute evenly throughout the salad.
