Preparation:

Rinse all the vegetables. Grill the peppers on the barbecue or in the oven (grill function), then remove the skin, the core and the seeds. Cut in pieces. Peppers are often left raw in the salad. Do as you prefer.

Peel the cucumber and cut into slices of a preferred thickness. Slice the tomatoes into large pieces or half-moons. Mince the onion.

In a bowl, combine the tomatoes and cucumber. Arrange the chopped peppers and onion crumbs on top. Cover the salad with grated feta and chopped parsley.
