Description

If you’ve got a prolific cherry tomato plant on your patio or in your garden (or a can of diced tomatoes in the cupboard), here’s a Greek-flavored delight to serve for lunch or dinner. The feta and black olives (especially if they are packed in oil) contribute such rich, tangy flavor that only a light dressing is needed for this “perfectly summer” salad. And it’s a fast one too!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes (about 60 - 70)
  • 1 bunch parsley - small
  • 2 green onions
  • 25 black olives
  • 2 ounces feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves—if using canned, drain well. Next, finely chop the parsley and slice the green onions. Cut the black olives in half, if you like. Cut the feta cheese into ¼-inch cubes.
  2. Then, in a medium-size bowl, mix together the tomatoes, parsley, onions, black olives and feta cheese. For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, oil and oregano. Pour over the salad. Top with the black pepper.
