I remember the first time I made this salad for a summer picnic; it was a hit! The combination of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and salty feta cheese, all dressed in a zesty olive oil dressing, brings back memories of sunny days by the sea.
- 2 large ripe tomatoes,
- 1 medium cucumber,
- 1 small red onion,

- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives,
- 200g feta cheese,
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil,
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar,

Chop the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Combine the chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Add the Kalamata olives and crumble the feta cheese over the top.
