  1. Start by washing and thinly slicing two to three crisp cucumbers and half a red onion. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, dill, and parsley. Toss the vegetables gently to mix without bruising the herbs.
  3. Sprinkle approximately one cup of crumbled feta cheese over the mixed vegetables and gently fold it in.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together a third of a cup of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper until emulsified.
