  4. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar over the salad. Sprinkle with dried oregano, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Toss the salad gently, making sure not to break the feta too much, until all ingredients are well combined.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or oregano leaves, if desired, before serving.
