1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Marinated Feta Ingredients:

Preparation Steps

Gather all the tools and ingredients for this recipe.
Cut the tomatoes into chunks.
Half the cucumbers lengthwise.
Soak medium-sized red onion for 10 minutes, then thinly slice it.
Slice Anaheim peppers.
Cut feta cheese into cubes.
Mince garlic cloves.

Instructions

Mix the olive oil, Herbs de Provence, minced garlic, lemon zest, red chili flakes, and pepper in a bowl.
Place feta cubes in a shallow dish or a sealable container. Pour the marinade over the feta, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow to marinate at room temperature for about 1 hour.
If marinating longer, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and kosher salt in a small bowl until well blended.
Combine juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onion, Anaheim peppers, and Kalamata olives in a large serving bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Just before serving, gently fold in the marinated feta, carefully not to break the cheese cubes.
