This is not like your normal Greek salad. These days, the Greek salads made with chopped romaine, crumbled feta and often grilled chicken have become ubiquitous in American restaurants, a traditional Greek salad, or horiatiki salata, is a simpler affair.

Ingredients: <\/gwmw><\/gwmw><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 TBLS red wine vinegar
1 small garlic clove grated or finely minced (I used 2-3)
1\/4 tsp. dried oregano
1\/2 tsp. kosher salt
1\/4 tsp. black pepper
1\/4 cup olive oil

1 pound ripe red tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges *(I just used flavor bombs or other cherry tomatoes and cut in half)
1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced 1\/2-inch thick
1 green bell pepper, cored, halved lengthwise and sliced 1\/4 inch thick
3\/4 cup Kalamata olives
1 Tbsp. capers, drained
