Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine tomato wedges, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper rings.

2. 2

   Add Kalamata olives to the bowl.

   💡 Pro Tip: For authentic Greek flavor, don't substitute regular black olives - Kalamata's briny taste is essential.
3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

4. 4

   Pour dressing over vegetables and gently toss to combine. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

5. 5

   Top salad with feta cheese - either place the whole block on top (traditional style) or break into large chunks over the salad.

6. 6

   Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Give a gentle toss before serving.
