Ingredients
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, halved kalamata olives, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and gently fold it in to distribute without breaking the cheese too much.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
