Method

Prep the vegetables

Rinse the Tomatoes, Cucumber, and Green Bell Peppers under cool water and pat them dry. Cut the tomatoes into wedges, peel the cucumber in alternating stripes if you want the classic look, then slice it into thick half-moons. Core the green peppers and slice them into thin rings, then thinly slice the Red Onion so it blends into the salad without overpowering it.

Whisk the dressing

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Red Wine Vinegar, and Oregano until the dressing looks glossy and the oregano is evenly dispersed.

Assemble and serve

Arrange the vegetables in a wide platter or shallow bowl, then scatter over the Kalamata Olives. Set the Feta Cheese block on top, or break it into a few large chunks for a more rustic look. Drizzle the dressing over everything and serve right away so the vegetables stay crisp and juicy.
