🥒Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side)
2 large English or Persian cucumbers
3–4 ripe tomatoes (mix colors if possible)
1 small red onion
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
7–8 oz block feta cheese (keep it in big crumbles or slices)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried oregano (Greek if you have it)
Sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Optional extras: bell pepper strips, fresh parsley, a pinch of chili flakes
🍅Step-by-Step: Greek Salad in a Few Easy Moves
1. Slice the Crunchy Stars
Use the Geedel vegetable chopper’s slicing blade for paper-thin cucumber and tomato rounds (if you like them extra delicate). Switch to the fine shred blade for whisper-thin red onion ribbons that mellow out perfectly in the dressing.
2. Build the Bowl
Pile the sliced veggies into a big serving bowl. Add whole or halved olives and big chunks or thick slices of feta — keep it rustic!
3. Make the Dressing
Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until glossy. Taste and adjust — it should be punchy.
4. Toss & Serve
Drizzle the dressing over everything and give it a gentle toss right before serving (so it stays crisp). Finish with an extra crack of pepper and a few oregano leaves.
🌿Tips & Twists
Protein boost – Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas.
Spicy version – Toss in a few Geedel-sliced pepper rings.
Make-ahead – Slice everything with Geedel up to a day ahead; dress just before eating.
Pita pairing – Serve with warm pita triangles for scooping up every last drop.
