Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 10 cherry tomatoes sliced into 1/6 inch rounds
  • 1 mini cucumber about 6 inches long, sliced into 1/8 inch rounds
  • 1 mini red pepper thinly sliced in rounds
  • 1 shallot about an inch in diameter, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 to 1 1/2 ounce feta cheese crumbled
  • 6 pitted Kalamata olives sliced or cut into small pieces
  • Dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine or apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Large heart cookie cutter optional

Method
 

  1. Place large heart cookie cutter on a plate and alternately layer veggies. I did tomato, cucumber, red pepper, shallot. Repeat all the way around cutter and into center. If you don’t have a large cutter in the shape you want you can free-hand it.
  2. Slowly remove cutter and place on second plate and do the same.
  3. Sprinkle each plate with feta crumbles and then dot with pieces of olive.
  4. Lastly, sprinkle some oregano on each salad. When you are ready to serve drizzle with the olive oil, vinegar and a sprinkle of salt.
