Ingredients

2 medium-sized nice and ripe tomatoes
½ cucumber
½ red onion
½ green bell pepper
12 olives ( preferably Kalamata or other Greek)
10-12 pieces of capers
1 block feta cheese about 100 grams / 3.5 oz
1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
kosher salt & freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Cut tomatoes in half. Cut each half into 6 bite-sized pieces. Add to a salad bowl.
With a vegetable peeler remove half the skin of the cucumber (you may leave as is or remove completely). Cut the cucumber in 4 long sticks lengthwise and then chop to bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl as well.
Cut onion and pepper to thin slices and add to the bowl.
Cut the feta cheese into 1 cm (½ inch) squares and add to the bowl along with the capers & olives.
Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season with kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and dried oregano. Mix everything well for about 1-2 minutes (better if you do it with your hands). Ideally, let the salad sit for 15 minutes for the flavors to blend.
Transfer to 2 small bowls or serve as is along with some grilled bread.
