Instructions

Place the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper and herbs in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and oregano.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat. Serve.

Notes

Red, yellow or orange bell peppers work just as well as green bell peppers and add a great burst of color.
You can use any type of cucumbers you like, but I recommend peeling standard waxy cucumbers and removing the seeds.
You can use a mandoline to easily and quickly cut your cucumbers and onions into thin slices.
