1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente.
2. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water until cooled.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. In a large serving bowl, combine cooled pasta, chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Notes
English cucumber works well because it has fewer seeds.
Add chopped parsley for extra freshness.
This salad tastes even better after chilling.
