2. In a mixing bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, olive oil, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to create the stuffing.
3. Carefully stuff each squid tube with the olive-tomato mixture, gently packing it in.
