A Fresh & Easy Greek Salad For Spring

A Greek salad is nice and simple, featuring tomatoes, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, feta, onions, and a vibrant dressing. I really like the way the juiciness of the tomatoes and cucumbers balance the saltiness of the olives and feta, and the red onions provide a sweet and spicy counterpoint. The vinaigrette dressing for this salad is also pretty easy. It just requires a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano to really brightens the salad up.
