  • 1 Measuring Spoon (for oregano and salt)
  • 1 Citrus Juicer (optional, for lemon juice)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Olives black or green, or a mix
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese crumbled or in large blocks
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup Bell Peppers sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juiced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Slice all vegetables: cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell peppers.
    Crumble or cube the feta cheese into smaller pieces.

Heat the Skillet

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Cook the Vegetables

  • Add red onion and bell peppers to the skillet.
    Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.

Add the Other Ingredients

  • Add olives, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber to the skillet.
    Stir everything to combine and let the tomatoes release their juices.

Season the Skillet

  • Sprinkle the dried oregano, and squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables.
    Season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the Feta

  • Crumble feta cheese over the skillet, allowing it to melt slightly into the mixture, enriching the flavors.

Serve

  • Once everything is cooked through, remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute for Feta: If you’re not a fan of feta cheese, goat cheese or ricotta can be used as an alternative.
  • Add Protein: For a heartier dish, you can add grilled chicken, shrimp, or lamb.
  • Make Ahead: The vegetables can be chopped in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Customizing: Feel free to add more vegetables such as zucchini or olives to suit your preferences.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with pita, rice, or couscous for a complete meal.
