In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be the dressing for the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl and toss gently to combine all the elements thoroughly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
