Peel the cucumber, if desired, and dice it into small pieces. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Add the Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and the garbanzo beans to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor. Enjoy!
