GREEK TOMATO SALAD

Category: Salad

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano or dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound fully ripened fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 2-1/2 cups)
1 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1-1/4 cups)

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. In a medium sized bowl combine tomatoes, bell pepper and cucumber with half of the olive oil mixture. (I reserve the other half and use as a marinade for chicken.)

Cover and marinate the tomato mixture and the chicken for 15 minutes or, refrigerated, up to 24 hours. Spoon Greek Fresh Tomato Salad onto serving plates. Makes 4 servings.
