Tomato Basil Feta Salad in 15 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Place the halved cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt and toss gently. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to release natural juices.
2. In a small jar, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, and black pepper. Shake vigorously until the mixture is glossy and thick.
3. Add the diced cucumber and sliced red onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
5. Gently fold in the fresh basil chiffonade.
6. Add the cubed feta cheese and kalamata olives.
7. Toss one final time very lightly until the cheese is distributed but the cubes remain intact.
8. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
