Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 150 grams feta cheese

- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Wash and dry the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into small wedges and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the onion slices to the tomato wedges in the bowl.
Dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad, distributing it evenly.
Chop the fresh parsley and mint finely, then sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
