A delightful Mediterranean-inspired salad that combines fresh vegetables, tangy feta, and a zesty dressing.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
Use cold water to keep the vegetables crisp.
Slice the tomatoes into wedges and the cucumbers into thin rounds.
For uniform slices, use a sharp knife and steady hand.
Chop the onion into thin slices and the bell peppers into strips.
Remove the seeds from the bell peppers for a milder taste.
Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is dry to avoid watering down the salad.
Add the black olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
Distribute the feta evenly for consistent flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
Garnish with a sprinkle of oregano for a finishing touch.
