Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using pre-made tart shells that need baking, place them on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the tart shells are cooling, prepare the salad filling. Start by crumbling the feta cheese into small pieces and set aside.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then dice it into small cubes.
Finely chop the red onion and set it aside.
Chop the baby spinach leaves into smaller pieces, if the leaves are large.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, baby spinach, and crumbled feta to the bowl with the dressing, and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spoon the salad mixture into the cooled tart shells, filling each shell generously.
Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or a light meal. Enjoy!
