What it needs
Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.
- tomato
- cucumber
- feta
- olives
- olive oil
Good if you have them, fine if you do not: oregano.
Method
- No lettuce. Ripe tomato, cucumber, olives, a slab of feta — not crumbled dust.
- Oregano, oil, salt. Don't drown it.
- The tomato has to be ripe or skip the dish. Eat immediately.

Cook or pour it, then edit the shelf if you emptied a bottle or used the last of something.
Why each of these is on the list
What the ingredients are actually doing
- tomato
- Sweet, sour and savory at once, which is why it holds up so many dishes with no meat in them.
- cucumber
- Water and crunch, which is a real job in a rich dish.
- feta
- Salt and tang in crumbles, so it seasons while it garnishes.
- olives
- Salt, bitterness and fat in one small package.
- olive oil
- Two ingredients sharing a name.
Missing one of them? The substitutions are written against those jobs rather than against a chart, so they say what each replacement costs this dish in particular.

Feta cucumber salad
Salt and drain the cucumber, break the feta by hand, and use lemon rather than vinegar — feta is already sharp and two acids fight.

Feta does not melt like mozzarella. That is the point.
