Servings: 6 1-1.25 cups per serving
Ingredients
RED WINE VINAIGRETTE
- 1/4 cup olive oil $0.52
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar $0.20
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice $0.06
- 1 tsp dried oregano $0.10
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- Freshly cracked pepper $0.03
SALAD
- 2 cucumbers $1.58
- 4 Roma tomatoes (about 1 lb.) $2.08
- 1/2 small red onion $0.38
- 1 green bell pepper $0.98
- 1/4 bunch parsley $0.23
- 2 oz feta $1.12
Instructions
- Prepare the vinaigrette first to let the flavors blend as you prepare the rest of the salad. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper. Set the dressing aside.
- Peel the cucumbers if desired. Dice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Thinly slice the red onion*. Pull the parsley leaves from their stems, then give them a rough chop. Crumble the feta cheese.
- Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, parsley, and feta in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over top, and toss to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat. This salad holds up well over a few days in the refrigerator. Be sure to stir briefly to redistribute the flavors before serving.

Notes
*To take the harsh bite out of the red onion, be sure to slice them very thinly and soak them in a bowl of ice water for 5-10 minutes before draining and adding them to the salad.
