Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then cut them into quarters and set aside.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and then slice it into thin half-moons. Add to the salad bowl.
Deseed and dice the red bell pepper into small cubes and add it to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.
Pit and half the kalamata olives and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mix.
If using, crumble the feta cheese and add it to the salad for an optional tangy kick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld, then serve and enjoy!
