Begin by peeling the cucumber, then slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds, and then slice it into half-moons and place in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the cucumber.
Deseed and chop the red bell pepper into small pieces, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the salad bowl.
Slice the Kalamata olives in half and crumble the feta cheese. Add them to the bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Add to the salad bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add to the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
