Georgie Esdaile shares her take on a classic chook shop side - the humble and flavourful Greek salad.

1 iceberg lettuce, cut into wedges
1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
100g feta, broken into large pieces
1/2 cup (75g) pitted kalamata olives
1 cup mint leaves

Roasted tomato dressing

250g cherry tomatoes
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tsp lemon thyme leaves, plus extra to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 220°C. For the dressing, place tomatoes and oil in a small roasting tray and season well. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until tomatoes are blistered and softened. Set aside to cool completely.
2.

Place cooled tomato mixture in a jar with remaining ingredients and shake vigorously to release tomato juices.
3.

Place lettuce on a platter and top with onion, cucumber, feta, olives and mint. Drizzle over tomato dressing and sprinkle with extra lemon thyme leaves. Serve.
