1In a large shallow bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion rings and pepper strips; salt lightly.

2Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of vinegar and half the olive oil; toss gently.

3Place the whole slab of feta on top of the vegetables — never crumbled.

4Scatter the olives around the feta.

5Drench the feta with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle the oregano over everything.

6Serve immediately with crusty bread; the juices at the bottom are the reward.
