olive oil, and oregano spice. Blend these ingredients together

lemon slices, onion, and fennel. Cook them until they are tender
in texture and brown in color. Once the grilling process has been
finished, move the cooked ingredients over to a serving dish and
toss them gently along with the already-prepared salad dressing.
Final garnish: Top the salad with the halved black olives, feta
cheese, and freshly ground black pepper.
