1 yellow bell pepper, large-diced

1
Place the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl.
2
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion.
3
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables.

Add the feta and olives and toss lightly.

Tips from me:
7
To reduce the sharpness of the onion, soak the sliced onion in ice cold water for 30 minutes and pat with paper towels to dry, before adding to salad.
8
To cut down on prep time, place a single layer of cherry/grape tomatoes between two Tupperware lids (or flat plates, etc.) and slice through all of them at once, using a sharp knife.
