Notes

  • Use a big jar to store the salad. If making it ahead, layer everything in the jar instead of mixing. Start with the dressing, then add cucumbers, olives, onions, tomatoes, feta, and spices.
  • If you don't have English cucumbers, regular ones are okay. Just peel and slice them. Fresh cucumbers with thin skin taste better.
  • Try using different types of tomatoes for sweetness, like heirloom or grape.
  • Not a fan of red onions? Use shallots or spring onions for a milder taste. You can also experiment with different cheeses like goat or mozzarella.
  • For the tastiest feta, get a block and crumble it yourself. But if you're short on time, pre-crumbled works fine!
