Ingredients
- 18 oz salad tomato
- 1 cucumber
- 1 red onion
- A few green or black olives
- 7 oz feta cheese
- 1 bell pepper
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste apple cider vinegar

Tools
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Salad Bowl
Steps
To start, wash all the vegetables under running water and then dry them well with a cloth.
Continue by roughly chopping the tomatoes and placing them inside the salad bowl.
Proceed by peeling the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and then slice it before adding it to the salad bowl with the tomatoes.
At this point, take the onion, cut it in half, carefully remove the outer skin, and finally slice it thinly. Then move the onion into the salad bowl.
Finally, slice the bell pepper into rings, first removing the cap and the seeds inside. Once you have the pepper rings, add them to the bowl with all the other chopped vegetables.
To finish, cut the feta cheese into cubes and remove the pits from the olives. Add everything to complete the main ingredients of the salad.
Finally, dress with extra virgin olive oil, salt, apple cider vinegar, oregano, and a generous handful of dried cranberries! And voila, your mega Greek-style salad is ready to enjoy!
Tip!
If you need to eat your Greek salad immediately after preparation, I highly recommend chilling all the vegetables in the fridge so you can enjoy it cold.
