In a large salad bowl, combine sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, and olives.

Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing gently to mix and ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top of the salad for garnish and extra flavor.
