In a large bowl, combine the white beans, cucumbers, spring onions, red onion, parsley, dill, olives, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, red wine vinegar, and olive oil to make the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.

Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients evenly.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Let the salad sit for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
