For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the red bell pepper before chopping it. If you don't have fresh oregano, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste. Some people prefer a more tangy flavor. This salad is even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld. Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
