Tomatoless Greek Salad

This one is for Beau, he doesn't like tomatoes. But for those who are making this salad for a large crowd of people that are tomato lovers like myself. I would make it with whole cherry tomatoes and the non tomatoe lovers can pick them out. This recipe Serves 4

1 green pepper diced
1 red pepper diced
1 yellow pepper diced
1 red onion diced
1 english cucumber diced
1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
1/2 cup whole kalamata olives pitted
1 garlic crushed garlic clove
3 tbsp dried oregano
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
fresh cracked black pepper
sea salt to taste

(If you want tomatoes in this recipe simply just add 1 pint of cherry tomatoes to the pepper & cucumber mixture)

In a large mixing bowl combine green, red, yellow peppers with cucumber. Set aside. In a smaller bowl combine red onion with oregano, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper and sea salt. Let the onions marinate for about an hour and add olive oil and mix well. 

Then pour the onion mixture into the peppers and cucumber bowl. Toss well and sprinkle with feta & olives. Add additional salt & pepper to taste.

Voila! Bon Appetit :)
