Ingredients (for 4 people) :

  • 200gr feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 lettuce heart
  • 4 sliced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cucumber, cubed
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 20 pitted kalamata olives (or black olives) 
  • 1 tablespoon tahini (sesame paste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preparation:

1. Marinate the feta: crumble the feta into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add the oregano. Season with pepper, and leave to macerate for at least 1 hour in a cool place.

2. Prepare the salad: Wash and spin-dry the salad, chop it and divide it between the serving plates. Add the tomato slices, cucumber cubes, red onion rings and olives.

3. Prepare the seasoning: Drain the feta, reserving the olive oil marinade. In a bowl, mix the tahini with the lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Emulsify with the reserved marinade.

4. Finishing: Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently and add the feta cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips :

For a typical Greek flavor, replace the lettuce core with 100gr arugula or purslane.
