1 red pepper, seeds removed, diced
1/2 cucumber, diced and peeled if wanted
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley, to taste, chopped
4 green onion stems, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
______________________________________________
