This vibrant salad is a celebration of peak summer produce. It combines ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber, briny olives, and creamy feta with a zesty lemon-oregano dressing. It's a simple, healthy, and utterly delicious dish that comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds ripe tomatoes (heirloom, cherry, or Roma), chopped
  • 1 large English cucumber, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 6-8 ounces block feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice the cucumber into half-moons. Thinly slice the red onion. Place all in a large serving bowl.
  2. Make the dressing. In a small jar or bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk vigorously until emulsified.
  3. Assemble the salad. Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  4. Add the feta. Break the block of feta into rough chunks with your hands directly over the bowl. Scatter the olives and fresh herbs on top.
  5. Finish and serve. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For best texture, assemble the salad just before serving. You can prep the vegetables and dressing up to a day ahead and store separately. Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor. For a vegan version, substitute with a firm vegan feta alternative.
