Step 1:

How do you make a classic Greek salad with brined cheese? Gather the ingredients. Wash and dry the vegetables.
Step 2:

Cut the tomatoes into wedges.
Step 3:

Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and cut it into half-moons.
Step 4:

Cut the cucumbers into rounds.
Step 5:

Cut the onion into half rings.
Step 6:

Cut the brined cheese into medium cubes.
Step 7:

Combine the vegetables in a salad bowl and add the sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Dress with olive oil and lemon juice. Mix gently.
Step 8:

Add the brined cheese and olives. Sprinkle with dried oregano. Put the salad in the fridge for 20 minutes.

How do you choose good olives? It's better to buy them in clear packaging so you can see what they look like and their color. If the olives are too black, food dyes have been added. The olives should be firm, whole, with smooth, glossy skin. Olives that are too soft and overripe won't keep long.
The salad looks neat and pretty if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
