This village salad is probably one of the most popular salads in Greece. Many Greeks will start their lunches and dinners with the salad and it is considered to be very healthy, especially when you use local ingredients. All you need to do is chop up the following ingredients and toss it in a salad bowl.

- 3 tomatoes
-Half a red onion
-Half a green pepper
-1 block feta cheese
-2 large spoonfuls of olives
-2 large spoonfuls of olive oil

Yesss!!! This is my favorite salad. Thanks for sharing the recipe. This is close to how I do it, except I don't always like onions in it. Sometimes I use scallions instead. I know, it's a bit more traditional to put the onion. I can only eat the onion if I let the salad sit in all the flavors for like an hour.
