Greek-style salad

Slice the cucumbers into strips or grate them with a grater. Dice the tomatoes. Dice the onions into small cubes. Press the garlic cloves in a garlic press. Dice the feta cheese. Place the tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad bowl. Sauté the onions in a pan, drain well, and then add them to the tomatoes and cucumbers. Add the crushed garlic, oregano, and basil, and stir to combine. Halve the black olives, slice them into rings, and add them, if desired. Add the Greek-style yogurt and diced feta cheese to the salad and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top the salad with a little olive oil, then let it sit in the fridge overnight, ideally, and enjoy the next day! Tip: Roasted chicken breast strips seasoned with salt, pepper, and oregano go very well with it.
