Description
Greek salsa blends Mediterranean zest with fresh ingredients. Crisp vegetables, tangy feta, and robust herbs create a refreshing condiment you’ll crave at summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.25 cups (296 ml) roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 cup (237 ml) seedless cucumber, diced
- ¾ cup (177 ml) kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- ½ cup (118 ml) feta cheese, crumbled
- ⅓ cup (79 ml) red onion, chopped
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tsps fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried oregano)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice Roma tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into uniform, bite-sized pieces, creating a colorful and textural base for the salsa.
- Incorporate Olives and Cheese: Chop Kalamata olives into small pieces and crumble Feta cheese, introducing briny and creamy elements to the mixture.
- Season and Dress: Sprinkle kosher salt, scatter fresh oregano, drizzle extra virgin olive oil, and squeeze lemon juice to enhance and bind the ingredients with Mediterranean flavors.
- Blend and Marinate: Gently mix all components, ensuring even distribution of flavors, then refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld and intensify.
- Final Touch: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, creating a perfectly balanced and vibrant Greek salsa ready to be served.
Notes
- Optimize Ingredient Freshness: Use ripe, room-temperature tomatoes and crisp cucumbers for maximum flavor and texture impact.
- Master Cutting Technique: Dice ingredients uniformly to ensure balanced bites and even flavor distribution throughout the salsa.
- Balance Flavor Intensity: Go easy on red onion and salt; these can quickly overpower the delicate Mediterranean profile of the dish.
- Marinate for Maximum Taste: Refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes to allow ingredients to blend and develop a more complex, harmonious flavor experience.
