          Dress it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently, ensuring all ingredients are coated evenly.

            Finishing Touches: Sprinkle the freshly chopped herbs over the top for added flavor and garnish.
