Avocado, Tomato & Feta Salad

(serves 4)
Ingredients: 
-2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
-1 large ripe (slightly soft) avocado
-1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
-1 clove of garlic, minced
-2 Tbsp. of red wine vinegar or lemon juice
-4-5 Tbsp. Greek extra-virgin olive oil
-fine sea salt & fresh ground pepper
-chopped fresh oregano leaves
-crumbled or cubed Feta cheese
-washed Romaine lettuce leaves

Directions:

  1. Slice your tomatoes, onions, minced garlic and add to a bowl along with the vinegar, olive oil and a pinch of salt and toss to coat. Allow the flavours to marry for about 15 minutes.
  2. When you’re ready to serve your salad, Cut your avocado in half, remove and discard the pit and cut into slices (or chunks). Squeeze some lemon juice on them (to prevent browning) and arrange your salad in a platter with the romaine lettuce on the bottom then arrange your tomato and avocado slices and top with the sliced onions.
  3. Pour the dressing in the bowl on top of your salad, top with sea salt, crumbled Feta, fresh ground pepper and fresh oregano and drizzle with some more extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice.
