  • 4 large ripe tomatoes cut into irregular chunks
  • 1 large English cucumber halved and sliced thickly
  • 1/2 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives pitted

  • 1 tsp dried Greek oregano
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Arrange tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion in a large bowl or platter.
  • Scatter Kalamata olives throughout.
