Ingredients
Scale

- 1 pint grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (halved)
- 4 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/3 cup red apple vinegar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, diced bell pepper, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together red apple vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Gradually add olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture.
- Gently stir to combine until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
- Taste before adding extra salt because feta and olives already add saltiness.
- Chill for 10 minutes before serving for even better flavor.
