• ½ cup banana peppers, chopped, optional
• 1-1/2 cups feta cheese, diced or crumbled

Dressing:

• 1 cup olive oil
• ¾ cup balsamic vinegar

In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients and toss together.

In another bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, pepper and salt.  Whisk to combine.  

Pour dressing over salad and stir well to coat.  Chill.
