1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced |
4 -6 ounces feta cheese, cut into cubes |
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive, sliced |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves (or 1/2 tsp. dried) |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
splash balsamic vinegar |
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
sea salt, to taste |
ground pepper, to taste |
