Name: Greek salad
Prep time: 57 min
Total time: 57 min
Yield: 4 people
Cuisine: french
Ingredients: 1 cucumber; ½ onion; 4 tomatoes; 100 g feta; 30 g black olives; 4 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; herbs of your choice; salt; pepper

Step by step recipe:

10 min.
Wash 1 cucumber, peel and slice (a mandolin is the ideal tool for this), then cut into sticks, and finally into small dice.

Put to wait in a seive.

If you prefer your cucumber softer rather than crunchy, salt lightly to tenderise and draw out some of the juice.
5 min.
Prepare ½ onion and chop finely.
20 min.
Prepare 4 tomatoes and cut into small dice.
5 min.
Dice 100 g feta.
5 min.
Remove the stones from 30 g black olives and chop roughly.
5 min.
Prepare a "citronette" (lemon) dressing, by mixing 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and pepper.
5 min.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, then add the fresh herbs and mix again.
2 min.
Add the dressing and mix once more.

It's ready.

Remarks:

Take care to use the recommended quantity of olive oil; it's important for the end result, and ideally use Greek oil if you can.

Use a red onion if possible; they are available in the summer and are so good raw.

And to drink?

If you like it, why not the famous Greek white wine Retsina? Or a fruity rosé from Provence. To accompany this salad perfectly, drink one or the other, well chilled and in the shade.
