Instructions

Step 1 : Cooking

Heat ¼ cup of the olive oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan until hot.

Place the cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl and toss together.

Step 4 : Preparation

For the vinaigrette, place the vinegar, garlic, oregano, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and whisk together. Whisking constantly, slowly add the remaining ½ cup of olive oil to make an emulsion.
