Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s Greek Salad is a fresh and rustic dish that combines chopped cucumber, juicy tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese, all tossed in a punchy oregano and red wine vinegar dressing. Often served with a drizzle of olive oil and garnished with fresh herbs, it’s both simple and flavorful—ideal for hot days or lighter meals.

Ingredients

  • Ripe Tomatoes (4–5 medium, chopped into wedges or chunks)

  • Cucumber (1 medium, peeled or unpeeled, sliced into half moons)

  • Red Onion (½, finely sliced)

  • Kalamata Olives (a handful, pitted or whole)

  • Feta Cheese (200g / 7 oz, cut into chunks or crumbled)

  • Fresh Oregano or Dried Oregano (½ tsp for dried, or 1 tsp fresh leaves)

  • Red Wine Vinegar (2 tbsp)

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4 tbsp)

  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)

  • Optional: Green pepper slices, capers, or fresh mint

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the vegetables

Chop the tomatoes into wedges, slice the cucumber, and finely slice the red onion. Add all to a large salad bowl.

Step 2: Add the olives and feta

Scatter the Kalamata olives over the vegetables. Cut the feta into bite-sized chunks (or crumble if preferred) and add to the bowl.

Step 3: Make the dressing

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 4: Toss the salad

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to break the feta too much.

Step 5: Serve fresh

Garnish with more oregano or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately, or let rest 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
