3 large plum tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 English cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped (the long, thin, almost seedless ones)
1 medium red onion, cut into thin rings and soaked for 10 minutes in a small bowl of ice water to make it less sharp
1 small green pepper, cut into thin rings

3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
1 Whisk dressing ingredients together until blended.
2 Season to taste.
3 Drain onion from ice water and pat dry with paper towels.
