  3. Chop the fresh dill and parsley; sprinkle over cucumber and onion mixture. Mix gently to distribute herbs.
  4. Crumble feta cheese over the salad mixture. Fold it in carefully to preserve texture.
  5. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, then whisk until well-blended.

  7. Let the salad rest for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld.
