- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry.

Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks, removing the core if necessary.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into semi-circles.
Core and deseed the green bell pepper, then slice it into thin rings or strips.
Place the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Add the Kalamata olives to the bowl, ensuring they are pitted if necessary.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper evenly over the salad.
Toss the salad gently with tongs or your hands to combine the ingredients without breaking them up too much.
