The combination of juicy, ripe tomatoes and black olives is a classic partnership in Mediterranean cooking, but Greek cooks also add feta cheese for a contrasting salty flavor. Serves 4.

- 9 0z. feta cheese
- 9 oz. cucumber
- 9 oz. Greek kalamata olives
- 1 red onion or 4 scallions
- 2 large juicy tomatoes
- 1 tsp. honey
- 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper
- fresh or dries oregano, to garnish
- whole wheat pita bread, to serve

1) Drain the feta cheese if it is packed in brine. Place it on a chopping board and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a salad bowl.

2) Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch slices. Add to the bowl with the feta cheese.

3) Pit the olives with an olive or cherry pitter and add them to the salad bowl. Slice the red onion or finely chop the white and green parts of the scallions, and add to the salad bowl.

4) Cut each tomato into quarters and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.

5) Using your hands, gently toss all the ingredients together. Stir the honey into the olive oil, add to the salad and squeeze in lemon juice to taste. Season with pepper and a little salt, if wished. Cover and chill until required.

6) Garnish with the oregano and serve with the whole wheat pita bread.
