Preparation

Step 1

Salad:
Add chopped lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, onion slices, halved olives, half the feta and some parsley to a large bowl.

Dressing:
Combine olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, pepper and chopped olives in a bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings {I almost always add a little more sugar}

Pour dressing over the salad ingredients, then add some salt and pepper. Toss with tongs or clean hands. Just before serving, top with the remaining feta and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.
