In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, green pepper, and Kalamata olives.

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the salad dressing.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables in the large salad bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly.
