Steps

Prepare Vegetables

Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion.

Combine Ingredients

Place all the chopped vegetables and Kalamata olives in a large bowl.

Dress and Season

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Add Feta and Serve

Place the block of feta cheese whole on top of the salad, or roughly crumble it over the vegetables. Serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► Use fresh, ripe vegetables for the best flavor experience.

► Don't crumble the feta completely; traditionally, it's placed in a larger block on top of the salad.

► Taste the dressing and adjust with more olive oil or vinegar to your preference.
