Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly under cool running water.

Cut the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks and add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons, and add them to the salad.

Add the Kalamata olives to the bowl, either whole or pitted if desired.

Step 7

Cut the feta cheese into small cubes or crumble it over the salad.

Step 8

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