Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, and red onion as directed. If using whole olives, drain them. If using cherry tomatoes, cut them in half.
Assemble the Salad:
In a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, pepper, and olives. Toss to mix the vegetables evenly.
Add the Cheese:
Gently add the feta cheese to the salad. If the feta is in cubes, be careful not to break it apart too much while mixing.
Season the Salad:
Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice (or red wine vinegar). Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well-coated.
Add Fresh Herbs:
Just before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley or chopped basil over the salad for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve and Enjoy:
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Serve chilled and enjoy this light, vibrant salad!
