- 1 red bell pepper, large-diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, large-diced
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, sliced in half-rounds
- 1/2 pound feta cheese, 1/2-inch diced (not crumbled)
- 1/2 cup calamata olives, pitted
For the vinaigrette:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup good red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions
Place the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl.
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. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables. Add the feta and olives and toss lightly. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.

This salad is AWESOME! It's so easy to make since you just chop and drop, plus it's super easy to customize. Just today I had this salad and right before eating it I cubed up some avocado and tossed it in with my serving. A delicious addition! I'm also going to try it with chicken, couscous and/or quinoa.

Definitely a crowd pleaser - not only does it taste great, it's beautiful to look at too! I took the recommendations from the members of the review team - and mixed whole wheat rotini to my leftovers. The pasta absorbed the additional dressing and it's DELICIOUS.

Delicious! Everyone at the birthday party liked, even someone who said they usually do not like salads like this one. Just to followed up on some other comments. I only used half of the dressing. If I used all of the dressing it would of been too much for us. I saved the rest and used it to marinate meat later that week. I mixed everything up, except the feta cheese, about two hours before we ate so all the flavors melded together. I used really good imported feta and cubed it up. I have already been requested to make this for the next gathering.
