Preparing the Vegetables

To begin, wash the tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly under cold running water. Cut the tomatoes into quarters and slice the cucumber into chunks, keeping the skin on for extra crunch and nutrition. Place these in a large mixing bowl.

Adding the Cheese

Crumble the feta cheese into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the vegetables. The creamy texture and salty tang of the feta add a wonderful depth of flavor to the salad.

Seasoning and Dressing

Sprinkle dried oregano (or your preferred herb blend) over the salad for an aromatic touch. Then, drizzle a light amount of extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients. Toss everything gently to combine, ensuring each piece is lightly coated for maximum flavor.

Serving

Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates. This salad is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate the crispness of the vegetables and the richness of the cheese. Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or a light main dish.
