Easy Greek salad

(Modified from this one at mediterrasian.com.) Serves four as a side dish.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 clove garlic -- minced

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 pint of cherry tomatoes (or substitute 1 medium sized tomato diced)(Cherry tomatoes keep better in the fridge, should you have leftovers.)

1/4 medium sized red onion diced

1/2 - 1 large English cucumber (sliced into thick disks and then quartered)

4 oz (120g) feta cheese --cut into small cubes

16 kalamata olives

Method:

• In a small jar with a water-tight lid, put the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
  
• Shake to combine.
  
• For best results make dressing a day ahead (store in fridge) for flavours to blend.
  

• Put remaining ingredients in a large salad bowl.
• Just prior to serving, pour half of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
• Add remaining dressing to taste.
