Mediterranean Olive Toss

1 (6 oz.) jar pitted Greek kalamata olives

½ red onion, peeled, and diced

3 tablespoons drained capers

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 1 cup)

In a medium bowl combine the olives, onions, and capers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, and garlic and add to the olive mixture along with the basil and oregano; mix well.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the feta and very gently toss together.
Note: This goes really well on top of whole grain pasta.
