Tomato Cucumber Salad With Feta

5 Servings
25 min

If you like tart and tangy, savory and salty flavors, then this is a salad you’ll have to try! I made this Tomato Cucumber Salad with Feta a friend of mine gave me some cucumbers from his garden. You can’t go wrong combining cucumbers with tomatoes, but when you add in some feta cheese and Kalamata olives, that really gives this salad a special zing!

The “dressing” in this salad is very simple…just some lemon juice and olive oil. So there are lots of healthy ingredients in this. If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, you can chop up larger tomatoes into chunks and that will work fine!

    Isn't that a Greek salad but without the peppers

    • Alex Alex on Aug 10, 2023

      We don't use peppers in the Greek salad. We use tomatoes,cucumber,olives, Feta,white onions or brown as you say in America,olive oil and vinegar or if you prefer lemon.

    It's called a Greek salad. So why don't you mention it? The whole planet knows it. When something is Mexican,Italian,you make a point of mentioning so why not do the same here?
