  • Prepare the other ingredients: Cut the tomatoes in half or quarters. Dice the cucumbers—I like to peel them, cut small cucumbers in half lengthwise, then in half lengthwise again, and slice. Crumble the feta. Finely chop the parsley and mint. Finely dice the onion and, if you want to remove some of the bite, rinse it in a sieve under cold water.
