Green olives are lower in calories, and canned black olives are often less expensive.

Chop cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.

Dice tomatoes into similar-sized chunks.

Thinly slice red onion and soak in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce sharpness.

Slice green bell pepper into strips.

Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper in a large bowl.

Add kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.

Drizzle olive oil and red wine vinegar over the salad.

Sprinkle oregano, salt, and black pepper on top.
