Pasos

  1. Rinse the tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper, then dry them thoroughly so the salad remains fresh and not diluted.
  2. Cut the tomatoes into irregular wedges over the salad bowl to catch their fragrant juices.
  3. Peel the cucumber, leaving a bit of skin if it is thin, then cut it into thick half-moons to retain some crunch.
  4. Seed and thinly slice the green bell pepper; thinly slice the red onion as well, then add them to the vegetables.
  5. Lightly salt the vegetables, toss gently, and let them release a little juice until the bottom of the bowl becomes glossy.
  6. Add the Kalamata olives, pour in the olive oil, and toss just enough to coat the vegetables without crushing them.
  7. Place the feta in a single block on top, then sprinkle with dried oregano and black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately, while the vegetables are still crunchy and the feta is just beginning to soak up the tomato juices.
