Start by washing the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes thoroughly.
Cut the cucumbers lengthwise and slice them thinly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Peel and thinly slice half of a medium red onion. Add the sliced onion to the salad bowl.
Slice the green bell pepper into thin strips and add them to the bowl.
Pit the Kalamata olives if necessary, and add the whole olives to the salad.
Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetable mixture in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Let the salad sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
