Description
Embrace the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean with this delightful 4-Ingredient Greek Feta Salad Tower.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large heirloom tomato, thickly sliced
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, halved
- ¼ English cucumber, sliced into rounds
- 100g block feta cheese, sliced ½ inch thick
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- ¼ cup mashed feta (for vinaigrette)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Start by washing and drying the fresh vegetables. Carefully slice the heirloom tomato into thick rounds. This step ensures that the slices have enough thickness to support the tower structure. Proceed to slice your English cucumber into even rounds and thinly slice the red onion, which will add zing and crispness to each forkful.
- In a small bowl, combine mashed feta cheese with extra virgin olive oil and a dash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice. Add dried oregano and, if desired, fresh dill for a fragrant touch. Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy, forming a delectable dressing that will coat the stacked layers beautifully.
- Choose a sturdy, flat plate as your base. Begin layering with a slice of tomato at the bottom, followed by a piece of feta. Add a few slices of cucumber, a scattering of red onion, and halved Kalamata olives. Repeat the process, forming 2–3 levels. Carefully drizzle vinaigrette over the top, letting it trickle down the sides.
- Sprinkle the top with a pinch of salt and oregano, then serve immediately for maximum freshness. Accompany the tower with warm bread or pita to make it complete. Enjoy your creation as an eye-catching appetizer or light main course.
Notes
Ensure vegetables are thoroughly dried to prevent sogginess in your tower.
