Wash and prepare all the vegetables and herbs. Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small cubes. Thinly slice the red onion.
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion. Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl.
Finely chop the dill, parsley, and mint, then add them to the vegetable mixture.
Mince one garlic clove and add it to the vegetables.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss everything together gently to combine.
Lay one sheet of lavash bread on a flat surface. Spoon a quarter of the vegetable mixture onto the bread, spreading it evenly but leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Carefully roll the lavash, tucking in the edges as you go to create a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining lavash and filling.
Slice each roll into halves or thirds for easy serving.
Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for a portable, heart-healthy meal.
