Savory - Greek salad by Profira G. - Recipia

Fresh vegetable salad is one of the most versatile and delicious dishes, perfect for a light meal or as a side dish. We start by choosing fresh ingredients that will help us prepare a special salad. For this recipe, we will use a combination of fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, colorful bell peppers, aromatic dried onions, salty black olives, and goat or sheep cheese, which will provide an unmistakable taste. The first step is to take care of the fresh vegetables. For the salad, we choose tender green lettuce, which we wash well under cold running water, then let it drain. We cut it into smaller strips or tear it by hand to maintain its crunchy texture. The tomatoes, preferably cherry or Roma, are cut in half or sliced, depending on your preference. The cucumbers can be sliced into rounds or thin slices, and the bell pepper, in any color you prefer, is cut into cubes or strips, thus adding color and texture to the salad. The dried onion, with its intense aroma, needs to be peeled and sliced thinly. This will provide a deeper flavor to the salad and perfectly complement the other ingredients. Black olives, which can be Kalamata or green olives, add a salty note and an interesting contrast of textures. It is advisable to cut them in half for better integration into the salad. To add a creamy and salty note, the goat or sheep cheese, which should be firm and salty, is cut into small cubes or crumbled with a fork, so that it blends well with the other ingredients. This ingredient will transform the salad from a simple side dish into a main dish. For the dressing, we use a simple mix of extra virgin olive oil, which will add a fruity note, and dried oregano to enhance the flavors. It is recommended to add salt and pepper to taste, to balance the flavors. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, being careful not to crush the vegetables. After the salad is well mixed, we can serve it immediately, or we can let it sit for a few minutes for the flavors to combine. This salad is not only a feast for the eyes but also an explosion of flavors that will delight your taste buds. Perfect for festive meals, picnics, or simply as a healthy meal, the vegetable salad with cheese is an excellent choice for any occasion.
