You Will Need
8 ounces ripe tomatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces or sliced
1/2 large (6 ounces) English or hothouse cucumber, sliced into half moons
1/2 small (2 ounces) red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced, optional
3/4 cup (4 ounces) Kalamata olives
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to taste
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, plus more for serving
3 to 4 ounces feta cheese, cut into generous slices
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Optional: De-flame the onions by slicing, and then adding to a bowl filled with cold water. Set aside for 10 minutes, drain, and then rinse. This tones down the raw bite of the onions, while keeping them crisp.
Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, olives, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and a generous amount of fresh ground black pepper in a large salad bowl. Toss well, and then set aside for five minutes.
Toss the salad once more and drizzle over the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Nestle the feta into the top of the salad, add an extra sprinkle of oregano on top and serve.
