Instructions

Place all salad ingredients into a large bowl and toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano. Pour onto salad and toss again to well combine. Taste and add salt and pepper as you'd like.
Place in refrigerator for 1 hour to marinate, or serve immediately. Salad is best enjoyed within 2-3 days after making.

Notes

If you're making this salad for a crowd, I recommend doubling everything to feed all of the guests! You can even make the salad 1-2 days ahead of time as the veggies will marinate beautifully in the dressing.
