Start by preparing the vegetables: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad bowl.
Pit the Kalamata olives if necessary and cut them in half. Add them into the salad mixture.
Cut the dairy-free feta cheese into small cubes and gently fold them into the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly without breaking the cheese cubes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for a burst of freshness.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve and enjoy!
