A vibrant and refreshing Mediterranean-inspired salad perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the dressing by mincing the garlic and combining it with the dried oregano and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
Use a microplane to finely mince the garlic for a smoother dressing.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil to the dressing mixture until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Chop the romaine lettuce, bell pepper, red onion, and cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
Keep the vegetables uniform in size for a visually appealing salad.
Combine the chopped vegetables with the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and kalamata olives in a large salad bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid crushing the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and drizzle the prepared dressing evenly on top.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
