Steps

1Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil, quickly blanch the calamari rings for 1-2 minutes until tender, then drain and immediately cool in an ice bath.
2In a large bowl, combine the cooled calamari with the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and black olives.
3In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
4Pour the dressing over the calamari and vegetable mixture.
5Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated and serve chilled or at room temperature.
