Ingredients

• 4 medium Tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 cup Kalamata olives
• 6 oz Feta cheese
• 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Sea salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.

Step 2

Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber (optional), slice it lengthwise into quarters, then cut into bite-sized chunks. Add to the bowl.

Step 4

Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.

Step 5

Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the bowl, separating them gently into rings.

Step 6

Add the Kalamata olives to the bowl, either whole or pitted and halved, based on preference.

Step 7

Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the vegetables or slice it into cubes and add to the bowl.

Step 8

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, taking care not to break up the feta too much.

Step 10

Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
