Pit and halve the Kalamata olives, if needed.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
