Mediterranean Salad

This is, again, a very simple salad to make. It does not require vinegar as the juice from the tomatoes provides the necessary acidity. Make sure that you use good quality tomatoes on this one. Also, I like using Greek Feta cheese or the Turkish and Bulgarian goat cheese. They have a slightly sharper taste and do not have a rubbery texture that you find in those Danish cubed Feta Cheese from Arla.

4 ripe juicy salad tomatoes or a bunch of cherry tomatoes
1 large cucumber, sliced into 1/4" thick rounds
1/4 c green olives
1/2 c crumbled Feta Cheese
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste

1. Slice tomatoes into rounds. If using cherry tomatoes, slice in halves.
2. Layer some tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese and olives in a salad bowl.
3. Drizzle a bit of the olive oil and sprinkle a bit of the oregano. Add salt and pepper.
4. Top with another layer of tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese and olives. Again top with olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
