This Mediterranean-inspired salad combines fresh vegetables with a tangy dressing and creamy feta cheese for a delightful dish.
Cut the cucumber into quarters lengthwise, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and maintain the cucumber's texture.
Core and seed the bell pepper, then chop it into similar-sized pieces as the cucumber.
Removing the seeds ensures a sweeter and less bitter taste.
Dice the tomatoes into chunks and thinly slice the red onion.
Slice the onion thinly to avoid overpowering the salad with its flavor.
Combine the cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, and olives in a large mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to ensure all vegetables are coated without breaking them.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
Add the feta just before serving to keep it fresh and creamy.
Serve the salad in individual bowls and enjoy.
Pair with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
