Tomato Salad with Red Onion, Dill and Feta


serves 4
1 pound heirloom tomatoes (use an assortment of shapes, sizes and colors)
1 half red onion, shaved thinly and soaked in ice water to cover for 10 minutes
1 clove garlic, minced
Flaky sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 red pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 pound cucumber (approximately 1/3 cucumber), thinly sliced
1 cup pitted kalamata olives
1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
1 cup barrel-aged feta, crumbled

Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Drain the onion and pat dry.

Place the garlic, a pinch of salt, and the vinegar into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking.

Add the onion, red pepper, cucumber, olives, and herbs and let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the tomatoes and feta, and toss gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
