Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut tomatoes into large wedges and place in a large wide bowl.
Slice cucumber into thick half-moons and add to the bowl. Slice green pepper into rings and red onion into thin slivers, adding them to the vegetables.
Add kalamata olives and toss vegetables gently to combine.
Place the large block of feta cheese (or large broken chunks) directly on top of the salad. Do not crumble it.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil generously over the feta and vegetables. Add a splash of red wine vinegar if desired.
Sprinkle dried oregano generously over the feta and salad, followed by a pinch of sea salt (feta is salty, so be careful).
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping in the juices.
