In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a splash more vinegar or oil to your liking.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer, side dish, or light lunch.
