Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 15 mins | Ready In: 45 mins

How to make awesome Greek salad. Also known as horiatiki salad, this salad has robust savory flavors. Crisp cucumbers, refreshing tomatoes, olives, and red onion are dressed with a tangy dressing. Buy 100% sheep's milk feta cheese for the most authentic taste, one possibly imported from Greece. A majority of feta cheese found at major supermarkets are made from cow's milk and is just salty without the complex pungent notes. Real crumbled feta cheese really makes a difference and it couldn't be tastier.

• 3 vine ripened tomatoes, quartered
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thick chunks
