In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar (or lemon juice), Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
### 2. **Mix the Salad**
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives (if using), and chopped herbs.
### 3. **Add Feta and Dressing**
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, then drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss everything together until well coated.
