Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, low sodium, crumbled
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber partially, leaving some strips of skin for texture. Cut it in half lengthwise and then slice into half-moons.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes. If they are large, quarter them instead.

Step 3

Thinly slice the red onion. For less bite, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain.

Step 4

Remove the core and seeds of the green bell pepper and slice it into thin strips.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately or allow it to sit for up to 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy your low sodium classic Greek salad!
