Best Greek Salad
Ingredients
  • Cucumber: I love Persian cucumbers for this recipe. They’re easy to prep, requiring no seeding or peeling, and mild flavor plays well alongside tomatoes and feta.
  • Red Onion: Slice thinly to ensure it remains a supporting character. If you’re sensitive to raw red onion, you can mellow it out by soaking the slices in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Just rinse under cold water and pat dry before adding to the salad.
  • Grape or Cherry Tomatoes: I prefer grape or cherry tomatoes because they're reliably sweet and juicy and seldom mealy. But ultimately, you should use whatever type of tomato looks best at your market-a salad this simple rises and falls on the quality of its ingredients.
  • Olives: Briny, savory, and slightly fruity Kalamatas really shine here and are worth seeking out. If you can't find them, most any other black olive will work well too-just be sure remove the pits if needed!
  • Feta: Tangy feta is the centerpiece of any Greek salad. Look for it in block form, packed in brine.
  • Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: This salad will (and should) taste of olive oil, so use an olive oil you like the taste of.
