Step 2:

Cut the tomatoes

Firstly, cut the top of the tomato and discard. And continue to chop it roughly into rustic chunky slices. Then, discarding the bottom, roughly cube. As Greek salad is a rustic salad everything is cut big and chunky.

Take another tomato and repeat until all the tomatoes are cut into chunky cubes. Then place in a large bowl.

Step 3:

Cut the onion

Slice the onion in half then cut into thin slices and transfer them into the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4:

Cut the cucumber

Using your vegetable peeler, peel off the skin from top to the bottom, creating a striped pattern by peeling then missing the next strip. Cut off both ends then slice them in half and cut them across into cubes.

And add them to the bowl of tomatoes and onion.

Step 5:

Cut the peppers

Take a red pepper and using your large knife cut into several large slices discarding the centre with the seeds. Cut the slices in half and then into chunky cubes. Take a green pepper and repeat exactly the same process.

When they are all cubed transfer them into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
