DESCRIPTION

“It” factor in salad form. From the crunchy cucumbers to deliciously light dressing, this salad has it all!


DIRECTIONS
1. To make the dressing, add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and whisk well to combine. Let sit at room temperature. Tip: the longer you let sit, the more blended the flavors become.
2. Add the artichoke hearts, roasted bell peppers, olives, cucumber, onion, and half of the feta cheese to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to mix.
3. Add more salt and pepper or olive oil to taste. Add the rest of the feta cheese to the top of the salad and garnish with more fresh basil if desired.
4. Let the flavors sit for at least ½ hour before serving.
