Method

  1. 1

    Mix. Mix onion using vinegar plus let soak while you prepare the other ingredients, around 15 minutes in a little bowl. Tip off the liquid onions, reserving vinegar. Mix tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion, olive oil, and around 2 tablespoons (30ml) of the vinegar left over off quick-pickling onion in a salad bowl or big mixing bowl. Add salt till it tastes right and one big pinch of oregano, toss lightly to mix, next adjust till it tastes right with more salt and vinegar, if wanted. Lay slabs of feta on top, scatter with leftover pinch of oregano, and drizzle with olive oil. Offer, soaking up juices with bread.

Storage

Keep covered and eat within a few days; freeze leftovers if the dish allows it.
