- 1 large Cucumber
- 4 medium Tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables.
Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into thick, bite-sized rounds or half-moons.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-moons.
Remove the seeds and core from the green bell pepper, then slice it into thin rings or strips.
Place the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper into a large salad bowl.
Add the Kalamata olives to the bowl.
Cut the feta cheese into large cubes or slabs and place them on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Gently toss the salad to combine, taking care not to break the feta, or leave the feta cubes resting on top for a more traditional presentation.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or as a side to your favorite Greek-inspired dish.
