Chopped Greek Salad

Recipe by The View From the Great Island

My Chopped Greek Salad is a delicate chopped version of the classic Greek salad that's such a healthy mainstay of the Mediterranean diet.  

Ingredients

• 2 cup english seedless cucumber ( finely diced (do not peel))
• 2 cup medium firm tomatoes ( finely diced )
• ½ cup red onion (finely diced)
• ½ cup black olives ( sliced)
• 1 cup diced or crumbled feta cheese (I prefer goat's milk imported feta)
• 1 cup diced artichoke hearts
• sprigs of fresh oregano
• oregano vinaigrette
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh oregano
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Combine the salad ingredients in a salad bowl. I like to reserve the feta cheese until after the salad has been tossed with the dressing, this way it doesn't break up.
2. Whisk or blend the dressing ingredients together and taste to adjust any of the flavors. If you like you can add a little white wine vinegar. Pour over the salad and toss gently.
3. Serve garnished with fresh oregano.
