Whether you're serving it at a summer gathering or enjoying it as part of a weeknight meal, this authentic Greek salad is a delicious tribute to the flavors of the Mediterranean.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Chop the cucumber into bite-sized half-moon slices. If the seeds are large, scoop them out before chopping.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to a large salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into rings or strips and add it to the bowl.
Cut the green bell pepper into thin strips and add them to the bowl.
Pit the Kalamata olives if necessary, then place them in the salad bowl.
Cut the feta cheese into small cubes or crumble it with your hands, and scatter it over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients without breaking up the feta.
Serve immediately or let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
