Drain the tuna well and flake into a large bowl with a fork.
Tip: Press out excess water for better texture.
Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
Tip: Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even distribution.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano.
Tip: Fresh lemon juice makes a noticeable difference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Tip: Be gentle to keep the feta from crumbling too much.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Go easy on salt as olives and feta are already salty.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately or chilled.
Tip: This salad tastes even better after 30 minutes in the fridge.
