  5. Add chopped parsley, diced red onion, cucumber, halved tomatoes, black olives, and crumbled feta to the potatoes.
  6. Pour dressing over the mixture and gently toss until everything is well-coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Let rest for about an hour before serving or chill in the refrigerator.
