  Absolutely delicious - a simple and tasty reminder of summer holidays. I squeeze lemon juice over before mixing to add an extra sharpness and generally don't bother deseeding the cu. Really good and a family favourite!

  At last! A recipe for a "Greek salad" that actually reflects a "Greek salad" as provided in Greece! Some 'other' foody sites incorrectly add things like New Potatoes, or Chick Peas! My only quibble is that, personally, I'd add more Olive Oil! I'd also not bother to de-seed the cucumber. When you've eaten the salad, dip chunks of fresh bread (chunks, not sliced!) into the mix of tomato juice and Olive Oil - wonderful.

  I made this the other night for some friends and it was a really fresh way to start the meal. It was so easy to prepare and really flavoursome. The only thing i did differantly was to chop the tomatos a few hours in advance and let them marinade in olive oil, basil and oregano, just to really accentuate the flavours of the herbs.

  Reminds me of BBQ at my mums, could never find a recipe that evencame close but this does it everytime! I always add a bit more feta. Also agree with Ray in not deseeding the cucumber.

  I made this to go alongside the lemon and dill lamb souvlaki...I love greek salads and as long as you use quality tomatoes, it will taste fantastic. Kalamata olives are also well worth the extra you pay, they taste far superior to any others I've had. I also added lemon juice ...gives an extra kick of taste.

  I've made this salad a few times now and it's quick and tasty and makes a change from leafy salads. I use the hard skinned Mediterranean type cucumbers for this as they are a bit firmer and have more of a 'bite' to them but deseed them as the seeds are firmer too!

  This really is an excellent salad. But like all dishes this simple it's the ingredients that matter. Don't skimp on the feta, tomatoes or olive oil. I also de-seed the tomatoes for a less watery salad which I think improves it greatly. If you find the onion too sharp leave it chopped in a little lemon juice for a while, the lemon juice will also add another dimension to the flavour.

  It was very nice, made a difference from the usual chicken nuggets and chips or bargan bucket from KFC with the 6 kids! Took a bit long to make though so doubt I'll make it again sadly! Was a treat for me.
