It can serve as a meal. 1 Cos lettuce, cut into ribbons 2 large knobby tomatoes, cut in wedges 1 cucumber, not necessarily peeled, split in half through its length and cut into thick slices 1 green pepper, cut in thin rings crosswise 1 large mild onion, thinly sliced and the rings separated, or a bunch of spring onions, thinly sliced 250 g (8 oz) Feta cheese, cut into small squares or broken with your fingers into coarse pieces 1 dozen or more black Kalamata olives a good bunch of parsley, preferably the flat-leafed type, coarsely chopped DRESSING 90 ml (6 tablespoons) olive oil juice of 1 lemon salt pepper Put all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Just before serving, mix the dressing to taste, beat well, pour over the salad and toss. Other usual additions are chopped dill or fennel, capers, sliced pickled gherkin, a sprinkling of oregano, a few sprigs of fresh mint, finely chopped.
