  • Juice of one lemon
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

Prep and Cook

  • Starting with cucumber slices, layer vegetables, olives, feta and fresh herbs in a large round, glass salad bowl (a straight-sided trifle bowl is perfect to show off the colourful layers).
  • Cover and transfer salad to the refrigerator.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, dried oregano and salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil.
  • Dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead.
