Chopped Greek-Style Salad
15 mineasy4 original servings
Simple. No feta needed — the halloumi is doing that job tonight. The trick is salting the tomatoes early so they release their juice, which becomes the dressing.
Ingredients
Serves
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 400 g tomatoes, roughly chopped (cherry, plum, or whatever's ripe)
- ½ red onion, finely sliced
- 1 handful Kalamata olives, to scatter
- 30 ml olive oil
- 15 ml red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Chop the tomatoes into a sieve set over a bowl. Salt them lightly and leave 10 min. They'll release their juice — that's your dressing base.
- 2
Tip the drained tomatoes into a serving bowl with the cucumber and red onion.
- 3
Whisk the collected tomato juice with the olive oil and vinegar. Pour over.
- 4
Toss, scatter olives over, crack pepper on top. Serve.
