Peel and trim the red onion. Cut the onion crosswise into thin rings. Separate the rings with your fingers.

Put the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and onion rings in a large bowl.

Vinaigrette

Strip the mint, oregano and parsley leaves from the stems and coarsely chop the leaves.

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil so the vinaigrette dressing emulsifies and thickens slightly.

Add the chopped herbs, then whisk the dressing and taste for seasoning. Pour the dressing over the top of the vegetables. With large metal spoon, toss the vegetables thoroughly in the herb vinaigrette dressing.

Cut the feta cheese into 1/2-in/1-cm strips. Gather the strips together and cut crosswise into cubes.

Add the olives and feta cheese to the vegetables and gently toss again. Taste the salad for seasoning.
