A flavorful and easy Greek lunch featuring baked feta with roasted vegetables, a classic Horiatiki salad, and warm pita bread. Vegetarian and perfect for a light yet satisfying meal.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the feta with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the feta is softened and slightly browned.
While the feta is baking, prepare the Horiatiki Salad: In a large bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, green bell pepper, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil and red wine vinegar. Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese.
Warm the pita bread in the oven during the last 5 minutes of baking the feta, or in a toaster.
Serve the baked feta with tomatoes and peppers hot, alongside the Horiatiki salad and warm pita bread. Enjoy!

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the baked feta for a little heat.
For a richer flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes in oil instead of cherry tomatoes.
Serve with a drizzle of honey over the baked feta after baking for added sweetness.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, lemon juice can be used for the salad dressing.
