A vibrant and refreshing salad inspired by Mediterranean flavors, perfect for a light meal or a side dish.
Wash and dry all the vegetables.
Use a salad spinner to dry the vegetables thoroughly.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, the cucumber into thin rounds, and the red onion into thin slices.
For uniform slices, use a mandoline slicer for the cucumber and onion.
Combine the sliced vegetables and black olives in a salad bowl.
Ensure the olives are well-drained to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep it fresh.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the salad as a garnish.
Add the feta cheese last to maintain its texture and appearance.
Serve the salad immediately, optionally with a side of crusty bread.
Chill the salad for 10 minutes before serving for a refreshing touch.
