- 1 pc red onion

- ½ pcs English cucumber
- 2 pcs tomatoes ripe
- 200 g feta cheese
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- ½ pcs lemon juice

Instructions
- Wash and dry the vegetables, then thinly slice the onion and place it in a large bowl.
- Remove the stem and seeds of yellow pepper, then cut it into bite-sized pieces or thin slices and add them to the bowl.
- Peel the English cucumber, leaving some stripes of peel for a more visually appealing salad. After, cut it lengthwise in two, and sliced it.
- Cut the tomatoes into chunky pieces to prevent them from falling apart in the salad, then add them to the bowl.
- Add the olives and seasoned the salad with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, oregano, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil.
- Mix everything gently with a spoon, so as not to crush the tomato pieces, until the seasonings coat all the ingredients.
- Add the feta cheese, torn into pieces, on top, and for decoration, sprinkle a little oregano and a little olive oil on top.

Notes
Elevate the freshness with a handful of chopped fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or mint.
Accompany grilled meats, fish, or kebabs with a generous portion of Greek salad.
Grate some lemon or orange zest over the salad just before serving. The citrus oils add a fragrant touch that elevates the overall experience.
