Instructions
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh herbs.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly-sized pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Slice the Kalamata olives into thin rounds, or chop them if you prefer smaller pieces. Add to the mixture.
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl, ensuring the pieces are bite-sized.
Mince the fresh parsley and dill, then sprinkle them over the other ingredients.
Zest the lemon, then cut it in half and juice it. Add both the zest and juice to the salsa for a burst of citrus flavor.
