This refreshing Mediterranean-inspired salad combines the crispness of fresh vegetables with the tangy flavor of feta cheese and olives, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes and losing their juices.
Slice the cucumber and onion thinly, and dice the bell pepper. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
For uniform slices, use a mandoline slicer for the cucumber and onion.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives.
Arrange the toppings evenly for a visually appealing presentation.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a refreshing taste.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
