Traditional Greek Salad

Greek salad is based on the simplicity of the ingredients. Ripe heirloom tomatoes, salty kalamata olives, crisp cucumbers, zingy Spanish onion and bitter green capsicum release their fragrant waters under a generous drizzle of good quality olive oil. 

To serve it is important to leave the feta slice whole and intact it makes for a stunning side dish. A real sexy salad. Garnish with a sprinkling of oregano and eat with crusty warm bread.
