  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the prepared dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together gently for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese and ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley to the salad. Toss lightly for 1 minute to incorporate the feta.
  6. Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
