Creating Mediterranean Salad is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Greens: Rinse the mixed salad greens under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner.
2. Chop the Vegetables: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and bell pepper. Slice the red onion thinly.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
4. Add Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, being careful not to break it down too much.
5. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until combined.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
7. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or dressing if desired.
8. Serve Immediately: Serve the salad right away for the freshest taste. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate to keep it fresh.
