Jamie Oliver’s feta salad is a Mediterranean-inspired salad made with fresh vegetables, feta cheese, herbs, and a simple olive oil-based dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad

  • 200g feta cheese (crumbled or cubed)

  • 1 cucumber (sliced)

  • 250g cherry tomatoes (halved)

  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)

  • 1 handful fresh parsley or mint (chopped)

For the Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Optional additions:

  • Olives

  • Avocado

  • Chickpeas

  • Toasted seeds

  • Lettuce leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumber, halve the tomatoes, slice the onion thinly, and cut the bell pepper into strips.

Step 2: Arrange the Salad Base

Place all the prepared vegetables in a large serving bowl. Toss gently to distribute the colors and textures evenly.

Step 3: Prepare the Feta

Cut the feta into cubes or crumble it into large pieces. Keeping some larger chunks creates a more appealing presentation.

Step 4: Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 5: Add the Feta

Scatter the feta over the vegetables rather than mixing it in aggressively. This helps maintain its texture.

Step 6: Dress the Salad

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients.

Step 7: Finish with Fresh Herbs

Sprinkle chopped parsley or mint over the top just before serving for freshness and aroma.

Step 8: Serve Immediately

For the freshest texture and flavor, serve the salad shortly after dressing it.
