1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

    Add Olives and Feta: Gently fold in the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese to the vegetable mixture for a burst of flavor.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad, adding the chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
