In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and Kalamata olives.
Crumble the Feta cheese over the top of the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are well coated.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad just before serving.
