Feta Salad with Raspberry Balsamic Dressing

So the salad was a suggestion of Peggy's, and I sorta made up what to actually put in it. The dressing was originally Jill's, with modifications from Peggy, and then a further modification by me.

The Salad
1 Dry Pint Cherry/Grape Tomatos
1/2 Cucumber
1 Red Pepper (Orange or Yellow will also work)
2oz Crumbled Feta
Red Onion (optional, depends if you want some zing to it)

Dice the tomatos, I tend to chop them into eighths. Chop the cucumber into small bite size pieces, ditto with the red pepper. Mix all of these in a bowl. Crumble and mix the feta into the bowl. If you want to add onion, do so now!

The Dressing
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Raspberry Jam/Preserve
Dijon Mustard
Garlic

I really do not have amounts for the dressing. A small spoonful of mustard will do, and at most a clove of garlic. I would suggest a heaping spoonful of the raspberry jam however. Use enough oil and vinegar to actually have dressing enough to coat the salad.
