Greek Salad (χωριάτικη σαλάτα)

Horiatiki salata or Greek salad is a rustic country salad. I love it for its simplicity and rich flavor.

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 medium red onion, sliced

1 medium red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives

6 oz feta cheese, cubed

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1-2 tsp dried oregano

salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl combine tomatoes, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, olives, feta. Season to taste. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the oregano. Toss everything until evenly coated and serve.
