    • 4 large vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into wedges
    • 1 English cucumber, halved and sliced
    • 1 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
    • 200g kalamata olives
    • 200g block feta cheese, cubed
    • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

    2. 2

      Scatter the kalamata olives over the vegetables.

    3. 3

      Place the cubed feta cheese generously on top.

    4. 4

      In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and dried oregano.

    5. 5

    💡 Pro Tips

    • Use the best quality olive oil you can find — it makes all the difference in a simple salad.
    • Don't refrigerate the tomatoes; room temperature tomatoes have far more flavor.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    You can prep all the vegetables and store them separately, but dress the salad just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp.
