Ingredients:
1 block (8 oz) feta cheese, cut into cubes
3 large tomatoes, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced into rings
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt (optional, as feta is already salty)
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup green or Kalamata olives
Directions:
Prepare the ingredients: Slice the tomatoes and red onion. Cut the feta cheese into cubes and chop the parsley.
Assemble the tower: On a large serving platter or individual plates, start by layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of feta cubes, then add a layer of sliced tomatoes and red onions.
Season the salad: Sprinkle the dried oregano, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the layers. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for richness.
Add the finishing touches: Scatter the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, herbaceous flavor. Add olives around the salad for an additional Mediterranean touch.
