Instructions
Submerge the red onions in a bowl of white balsamic vinegar. Let sit for about twenty minutes.
Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic, olives and diced feta cheese in a large salad bowl. Toss with salad spoons.
Add the salt, pepper, olive oil and oregano and toss again.
Strain the red onions out of the vinegar. Top the salad with the onions. You can discard the vinegar or save for another purpose (it would be great to make a vinaigrette dressing out of).
Store covered in the fridge until it's time to serve. You can keep this in the fridge for about a week.
