4 large tomatoes (diced)

1 cucumber (diced)

1 red onion (thinly sliced)

1 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)

1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

1 green bell pepper (diced)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Allow the Greek Salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Just before serving, give the salad a final toss. Serve the Greek Salad as a refreshing side dish or a light and satisfying main course. Optionally, garnish with additional oregano and a drizzle of olive oil.
