Preparation
  1. Wash all ingredients thoroughly. Chop the cucumber, halve the tomatoes, and slice the bell pepper. Soak the red onion in water for 10 minutes if a milder taste is desired.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and olives. Mix gently.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt until emulsified.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  5. Add cubed feta on top, drizzle with remaining dressing, and sprinkle with parsley or mint.
  6. Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
