Ingredients

  • 2 medium size local heirloom organic tomatoes sliced
  • 1 pint organic baby heirloom tomatoes (yellow pears, orange cherry, small dark red, or purple, etc.), cut in half
  • 1 organic English cucumber sliced or cut in small cubes
  • 1/2 large red onion (or 1 small one), minced
  • 1 small organic yellow zucchini cut in half lengthwise, and then sliced
  • 2-3 Tbsp fresh oregano (stems removed)
  • 1/2 head organic lettuce of your choice washed and dried
  • 100 g goat feta cheese (organic if possible), cut into small cubes

Dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salad dressing first: simply put everything into a medium-size mason jar, close tightly and shake.
  2. Put all the prepared veggies (except the lettuce) in a large bowl and the cubed feta, add enough dressing on top, and mix.
  3. Distribute the lettuce in 4 plates (or 6 if using as an appetizer), and add the mixture on top, and sprinkle with fresh oregano. Drizzle with extra dressing if needed.
  4. Bon appétit!
