Instructions

Mix the Veggies: Grab your favorite large mixing bowl. Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, sliced red onion, and green bell pepper.
Add the Goodies: Gently drop the pitted black olives and cubed feta cheese into the bowl with your vegetables.
Whisk the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, and dried oregano. Add your salt and black pepper. Give it a good whisk until it looks smooth.
Pour It Over: Drizzle that lovely fresh dressing right over the top of your salad ingredients.
Toss and Serve: Use big spoons to toss everything together. Be gentle so the feta cheese does not break apart too much. Serve it up fresh and enjoy the crunch!

Protein Boost: Top with grilled chicken or chickpeas to make it a full meal.
Prep Ahead: Keep dressing separate until serving to stay extra crunchy.
Variations: Swap black olives for kalamata olives for a traditional twist.
