Ingredients
- 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 12 to 14 small vine-ripened tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup kalamata olives, halved and pitted
- 5 Persian cucumbers
- 1 4-ounce block Greek feta cheese, packed in brine
- Fresh oregano leaves, for topping (optional)
- Soak the red onion in a bowl of heavily salted ice water, 15 minutes.
Directions
Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, lemon zest and juice, honey, dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified. Add the tomatoes and olives and toss.
Peel the cucumbers, leaving alternating strips of green peel. Trim the ends, halve lengthwise and slice crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick; add to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drain the red onion, add to the bowl and toss.
Drain the feta and slice horizontally into 4 even rectangles. Divide the salad among plates. Top with the feta and oregano; drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.

Perfect light dinner! We added baked chicken thighs for some more protein, but did the rest as instructed. The dressing was high on the acidic side, but refreshing.
