1 cucumber, medium
1 green bell pepper, medium

1/2 cup olives, black, brine-cured
3 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 ounces feta cheese, drained and crumbled

1. Core and seed the tomatoes and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Peel and seed the cucumber and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Stem and seed the pepper and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Cut the onion into 1/4-inch dice.
