1/4 cup Fresh parsley (Chop finely just before serving)
1 cup Feta cheese (Add on top at the end to keep chunky)

Dressing Ingredients

2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil (Use good quality for best flavor)

Instructions

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar (or lemon juice), oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the feta cheese on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The salad softens over time, and the tomatoes will release juice. If it happens, drain a little before serving. This salad is best served cold or at room temperature.
