Macerating the onion brings out the sweetness and turns them a glorious pink. Tomatoes should not be kept in the fridge, their taste is far better at room temperature.
Put the onion and lime juice in a bowl. Cover tightly and leave to marinate for at least an hour and up to 12.
Peel cucumber, use a teaspoon to scoop out seeds then slice into 1 cm half moons. In a large salad bowl, add tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper and olives. Tip in the onions with lime juice, drizzle extra virgin olive oil, add a few pinches of sea salt and combine well. Cut the feta into pieces and place on the top of the salad. Drizzle again with oil and finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano on the cheese.
