A vibrant and refreshing salad that combines Mediterranean flavors with a delightful crunch.
Prepare the tomatoes by washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes while cutting.
Combine the tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, green pepper, red onion, and feta cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the delicate ingredients.
Sprinkle the fresh basil over the salad as a garnish.
Add the basil just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
