Wash and prepare the vegetables. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into half-moons. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion, and cut the green bell pepper into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, and Kalamata olives.
Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
