How to Make Balsamic Tomato Cucumber Salad

1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Shake well to emulsify the dressing.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups chopped tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
3. Pour the prepared balsamic dressing over the vegetables.

6. Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or your preferred cheese).
