Tomato, cucumber and feta plate for a quick lunch

When tomatoes taste good, a simple plate needs little intervention. Salt lightly because feta already brings seasoning, and add the dressing just before serving. Bread or cooked beans can make the plate more substantial if you need them.

Tomato, cucumber and feta plate for a quick lunch

Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Wash produce under running water before cutting. Arrange tomatoes and cucumber on two plates.
  2. Scatter over feta and olives.
  3. Whisk oil, vinegar and oregano. Spoon over the salad and add black pepper.
  4. Serve immediately with bread if desired, keeping any unused feta refrigerated.

Make it work in your kitchen

Choose pasteurised feta where appropriate to your health needs, and follow the package storage instructions. If the tomatoes are very juicy, serve bread separately rather than letting it soak on the plate. Feta contains milk; bread commonly contains wheat.
