The classic Greek Salad, a staple for summers in the sunshine.
In a large shallow bowl or dish, chop the tomatoes into quarters, eighths or halves depending on size (you want chunks, but not too big to fit in the mouth! (chopping in the dish keeps those tasty tomato juices)
Cucumbers are often peeled leaving 'stripes' of green skin, but peel as you please, then halve lengthways and chop into large chunks. Add to dish.
Slice the pepper into cross sections. If v large then halve or quarter. Add to dish
Add the kalamata olives (unsliced).
Thinly slice the red onion. If very large then cut in half (semi-circles). If you have a sensitive stomach and find raw onion too harsh then pre-soak in water and a little vinegar to take the edge off.
Shake bottle well then pour over a good few tablespoons of the Greek Salad Dressing.
Place feta on top - either left whole or broken a little / in half (but not crumbled). Sprinkle over dried oregano, or finely chopped fresh leaves then pour on a little more dressing onto the feta.
Serve with a nice fresh bread, or as a side.
