In a small bowl or a measuring cup, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano, ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pour dressing over salad mixture and stir well to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight. Stir again before serving.

Cucumber note: If you are using a thicker skinned waxed cucumber, peel before using.
Feta cheese: Crumbled feta cheese doesn't work as well in this salad because it has a tendency to disintegrate and disappear. Block feta works better for a chopped salad. If you prefer, low-fat feta cheese can be substituted.
Storage: Salad will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Stir well before serving.
Onion tip: To decrease the sharp flavor of raw onions, soak the chopped onions in ice water for 10 minutes or so. Drain well and pat dry before using.
