A lowfat yet authentic Greek Salad

This is my favorite Greek salad, and with lowfat feta and being sparing with the oil, I make this a low fat dish.

Ingredients:
1 vine ripened tomato / quartered
1 cucumber / peeled and sliced
1 small red onion / thinly sliced
1 small green pepper / thinly sliced
A few black olives or Greek Calamata olives
Low fat feta cheese
1 tsp oregano
Salt
Extra virgin olive oil

Put the tomato, cucumber, red onion, green pepper, and olives into a big bowl and sprinkle with salt and oregano. I add chopped romaine. Mix it all together then top with a sprinkle of crumbled lowfat feta cheese.

Leave the bowl to stand for 20 minutes. This will allow the salt to soak into the tomatoes and bring out the juice, and will allow the cheese to get to room temperature. Just before serving, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle more oregano on top. I also squeeze lemon juice into it.
