Published by Chatelaine on 8/1/2009

We borrowed the elegant layered look of one of our favourite salads, the tomato and bocconcini Caprese, and applied it to another Mediterranean favourite.

Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano leaves
  • Pinches of salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) olive oil

Add to Grocery List
  1. Place garlic in a small bowl. Whisk in vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper and sugar. Slowly whisk in oil. Slice tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper and onion into thick rounds. Cut feta into 4 thick slices, then halve slices, forming large triangles.
  2. Casually arrange tomatoes and vegetables on individual salad plates or a large platter. Lay the cheese on the side of the salad. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate both dressing and salad up to 1 day. Just before serving, drizzle both salad and cheese with dressing.
