Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Thinly slice the red onion into rings or strips and add it to the bowl.
Cut the green bell pepper into thin strips and add them to the bowl.
Pit the Kalamata olives if necessary, then place them in the salad bowl.
Cut the feta cheese into small cubes or crumble it with your hands, and scatter it over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients without breaking up the feta.
