1. 1Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, red onion, and olives.
2. 2Step 2: Sprinkle with sea salt to taste, drizzle with 2–3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and add about 1 tablespoon of red (or grape) vinegar.
3. 3Step 3: Sprinkle dried oregano generously over the top and toss gently to coat everything.
4. 4Step 4: Let the salad sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the tomatoes to release their juices and blend beautifully with the feta, olive oil, and herbs.
5. 5Step 5: Serve your Greek tomato salad with plenty of fresh, crusty bread — perfect for dipping into those irresistible salad juices. (In Greece, we call this papara — and it’s almost mandatory!) You can also use Greek rusks instead of bread. If they’re large, simply break them into crouton-sized pieces before adding them to the salad so they can soak up all the delicious olive oil and tomato flavors.
