Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and pat dry.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber, if preferred, and dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, dice it into small pieces, and toss it into the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the vegetable mix.
Slice the Kalamata olives in half (if they aren't pre-sliced) and add them to the bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables and gently toss to combine.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the mixed vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Cover the salad and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the salad with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
