In a large mixing bowl stir together the tomatoes,cucumbers, red onion, basil, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Mix together well.

Let the salad mix sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, this will allow the liquid to draw out of the vegetables.

To make the vinaigrette, pour the vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper into a blender. Blend the mix until it is thick and creamy.

Toss the salad mix to allow all the natural liquids to coat the vegetables.

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mix according to your taste or serve it on the side.

Toss in the Feta Cheese to your taste.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow all the flavors to blend.

Garnish with fresh basil and more Feta Cheese if you like.

Enjoy!
