Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions. Remove from heat, drain and rinse. Set aside.
In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, feta, and dressing, gently tossing to combine. Taste; add more salt and pepper if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
If possible, I recommend buy a block of feta cheese packed in brine and then crumbling it by hand. I think the flavor is so much better! However, the recipe will still work with pre-crumbled cheese.
