Greek Salad
Cucumber, tomato, olive, feta and oregano-lemon dressing.
Maui's an app that plans a whole week of dinners like this one. See how it works ↓
Big chunks of feta on top - not crumbles tossed through. That's actually how it's served in Greece (horiatiki = village salad), and the flavor lands so much better when you get a whole bite of feta instead of dust.

Instructions
Knife work first, then the stove. Nothing below asks you to chop while something burns.
- Quarter cucumber lengthwise and slice thick. Cut tomatoes into wedges. Ring the bell pepper. Slice red onion thin.
- Pit kalamatas if needed.
Make dressing
In a small bowl, whisk red wine vinegar, lemon juice, grated garlic, oregano, salt, pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified.
2 min · hands onCompose
In the salad bowl, layer cucumber, tomato wedges, bell pepper rings, red onion, olives. Place feta on top in big rustic chunks (don't crumble - Greek-style is in blocks).
3 min · hands onDress and finish
Pour dressing over. Sprinkle the remaining salt and a final pinch of oregano over the feta. Toss gently at the table - too aggressive and the tomatoes weep.
1 min · hands onMake it yours
Every swap here is one Maui already knows how to make, including what it does to the timing.
Add 1 lb grilled chicken breast, sliced over the salad. Adds about 15 minutes.
Sauté 1 lb shrimp 4 min total, scatter over. Adds about 10 minutes.
Warm pita 60 sec per side in a dry skillet. Adds about 5 minutes.
Omit feta; add 1 tbsp extra olive oil for richness.
What keeps
Cut veg and dressing hold 2 days separately. Once dressed, cucumber and tomato weep - eat within 2 hr or drain off liquid before re-eating.
