Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Slice the Persian cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons and slice the red onion thinly. Combine in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  3. Add cucumbers, onions, feta, dill, and parsley to the bowl. Mix gently. Optionally add tomatoes and olives.
  4. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Let the salad rest for about 10 minutes to meld flavors. Serving chilled enhances taste.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with extra herbs or feta. Serve immediately.
