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. 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. 2

    Tip the drained tomatoes into a serving bowl with the cucumber and red onion.

  3. 3

    Whisk the collected tomato juice with the olive oil and vinegar. Pour over.

  4. 4

    Toss, scatter olives over, crack pepper on top. Serve.
