Mediterranean Salad Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Shine / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago Try this... just do it ;-)... the combination of flavors are remarkable. The lemon juice knocks out the onion, and the mint just seems to smooth everything over -- fabulous! I'm certain that there is a proper name for the salad, I just don't know it...

Ingredients

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

1 English/Dutch cucumber, quartered lengthwise and cut into 3/8" wide chunks (if unable to obtain the English cucumber, peel and seed a regular cucumber or two)

1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeds removed, cut lengthwise into thin strips (julienned"

3-4 ripe medium tomatoes, cut into chunks

½ cup chopped mint leaves

juice of one lemon

¼ - ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1-1½ cup crumbled feta cheese

freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Combine all of the vegetables in a mixing bowl, add the mint and toss to mix

drizzle the lemon juice and is much olive oil as you desire over the mixture, and toss to coat.

Add the feta when getting ready to serve. Season to taste with black pepper.

If making this ahead of time -- put in the refrigerator to keep cool, and bring out a little before serving to let warm slightly -- this allows the flavors to come out a bit.

Hey Ray darlin' - this sounds so delcious! I love Mediterranean flavors and this has the classics. I really like your mint addition here - and I bet it does taste so lovely and fresh. I'll be trying this over the weekend. I love these wonderful salads that are not that hard to put together but deliver with big, impressive flavors. I have no doubt that its a crowd pleaser....it has my name written all over it. Thanks so much!! Love you, Vickie

Hi Ray
Your salad is very close to a "Horiatiki Salata" (Greek Country Salad)The differences being that your's uses mint instead of the more common oregano and the other usually has Kalamata olives in it too. The Horiatiki Salata can be made with either vinegar or lemon juice. I used to work with a Greek girl years ago and she said that they always made it with lemon juice but I've seen the recipe with either. Your version sounds delicioius and I think that the mint would be a refreshing addition. I have it bookmarked to try.
