This delicious Tomato, Feta and Oregano Salad is the perfect side dish for summer. Why not pack it for a picnic, or serve at your next BBQ.

Side salads

Some salads are built to be the star of the show, just think Chicken Caesar Salads, others are designed to perform a supporting role like this Tomato, Feta and Oregano Salad. It's the perfect dish to share at a buffet or picnic, or to serve up alongside your favourite grilled protein.

With just 4 ingredients it is an uncomplicated salad that lets its ingredients shine. Let us take a closer look at those key ingredients.

This delicious Tomato, Feta and Oregano Salad is inspired by holidays to Greece. Why not pack it for a picnic or serve it up at your next BBQ as a tasty side dish. Get the recipe at Supper in the Suburbs!

Red onion

The first ingredient in this recipe is red onion.

It has a very strong taste and to take some of the heat out of the onion we cut it really thinly and soak it in hot water for just a few minutes. This doesn't cook it as such. It will still have a lovely crisp texture but it will tone down the harsh onion flavour.

Tomatoes

The second ingredient in this recipe is beef tomatoes.

I call for beef tomatoes as they cut beautifully and are good at soaking up the oregano oil. You could use smaller tomatoes but, whatever you do, make sure you use fresh tomatoes at room temperature. They will taste of sunshine.

Feta

Feta is a Greek cheese made from sheep or goats milk. It is soft and crumbly and brined which also gives it a salty flavour. I crumble this all over the salad.

Feta works really well with this dish thanks to the creamy texture and flavour which contrasts with the sweet tomato and earthy onion and oregano.

Oregano

Oregano is a fantastic herb and one which is often used in Mediterranean cooking. I use oil that has been infused with oregano, as well as fresh oregano leaves in this recipe.

To make you own oregano oil follow the recipe here. This is a fantastic, multi-purpose dressing that is perfect drizzled all over this Greek inspired Tomato, Feta and Oregano Salad.

Serve it with...

This Tomato, Feta and Oregano Salad is a fantastic BBQ side dish whether you're serving up traditional pork souvlaki, lamb steaks, beef burgers or even chicken drumsticks or a fillet of fish.

It's also a good salad to take on a picnic. Tomatoes always taste best when they've been able to warm up a little in the sunshine and you don't have to worry about the oil making any salad leaves soggy - because there aren't any!

This Tomato, Feta and Oregano Salad really should be your go to summer side!

The recipe

You can use any old tomatoes for this recipe, colourful heritage tomatoes will make for a stunning dish but I prefer hearty beef mushrooms. Make sure you pick a real salty feta too. "Greek salad cheese" just won't cut it here I'm afraid. Last but not least, make sure you've made a fresh batch of this Oregano Oil to drizzle over.

    Would this recipe work with either cherry or grape tomatoes? I have a produce drawer full of them.

    Oh, I know. Especially after having kids and not having the freedom to travel when you feel like it is quite frustrating. So! Let's bring the rest of the world's food to our kitchen, shall we? I daresay, sometimes the food we prepare end up being better than what we would have had out there!

    I love this type of salad and I make it very often in the hot summer days. There's nothing better than the juicy sweet taste of the tomatoes combined with the tangy flavour of the feta cheese.
