In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, chopped dill, and parsley. Toss gently to mix.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the vegetable mixture. Fold it in gently to avoid breaking up the feta too much.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!

For extra protein, add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or shrimp.
For a different flavor, try using mint or basil instead of dill.
This salad can be made ahead, but add the dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
It’s naturally gluten-free.
Substitute lemon juice with red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a different tang.
For a sweeter salad, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
