Vibrant Greek Salad: Fresh, Feta-Packed, Geedel-Sliced Perfection
Picture this: crisp cucumber ribbons, juicy tomato chunks, paper-thin red onion rings, and crumbly feta all tossed in a garlicky oregano dressing. That’s Greek Salad—the Mediterranean’s gift to lazy summer lunches, potlucks, and “I need something fresh now” moments.
The magic? Uniform cuts that let every bite burst with balanced flavor. Enter the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater (your secret salad weapon):
Slicing blade → flawless cucumber rounds
Fine shred blade → whisper-thin red onion that doesn’t overpower
Coarse blade → perfect feta crumbles
No wobbly knives. No soggy layers. Just effortless, restaurant-worthy texture.
Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side)
2 large cucumbers (English or Persian)
3–4 ripe tomatoes (heirloom for color pop)
1 small red onion
1 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
6 oz feta cheese (block, not crumbles)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove (minced or pressed)
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: bell pepper, fresh parsley
Step-by-Step: Greek Salad in 4 Cranks
1. Slice Veggies Like a Pro
Lock your cheese shredder hand crank with suction base.
Slicing blade: Feed cucumbers → crank for thin, juice-trapping rounds.
Slicing blade: Shred the red onion into strips.
Coarse blade: Crumble feta into fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth pieces.
2. Prep the Rest
Hand-chop tomatoes into chunks, pit olives if needed, and mince garlic.
3. Whisk the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
4. Toss the Rainbow
Combine Geedel-sliced cucumber, onion, feta, plus hand-chopped tomatoes and olives in a large bowl. Pour dressing. Toss gently—uniform cuts mean even coating. Serve with warm pita or as a bed for grilled chicken.
Tips & Twists
Creamy Upgrade – Blend feta with a splash of yogurt for dressing.
