Ingredients
  

For the Dressing
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic minced
For the Salad
  • 1 medium English cucumber diced, about 2 cups
  • 8 oz cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 cup Kalamata olives pitted, halved
  • 0.25 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 6 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
For Assembly
  • 4 ciabatta rolls sliced horizontally
  • 0.5 cup hummus

Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Make the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, and garlic until emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Prep the Salad
  1. In a large bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
  2. Add feta and fold in carefully to avoid breaking it into dust. The salad can sit for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour to let flavors meld.
Assemble Sandwiches
  1. Spread a generous layer of hummus on the cut side of each ciabatta half. This creates a barrier so the bread stays crisp.
  2. Spoon the Greek salad mixture onto the bottom halves, pressing gently so it stays put. Top with the other ciabatta half, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra protein, add sliced grilled chicken or chickpeas to the salad. The salad mixture keeps well refrigerated for 2 days; assemble sandwiches just before eating to prevent soggy bread. For a party, set out the salad and bread separately and let guests build their own.
