Partially peel a cucumber into a stripe pattern, then slice into half moons. Slice 1 green bell pepper into rings. Place all the veggies in a large serving dish, along with a handful of pitted Kalamata olives. Remove the onions from the ice water and add to the platter with the rest of the veggies. Sprinkle on 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried oregano and a pinch of kosher salt. Pour in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1-2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Give everything a very gentle toss. Break off or slice large pieces of feta and add to the top of the salad. Finish with oregano! Try the recipe and write if you liked the outcome!
