A salad that's a summer celebration in a bowl. Imagine juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, tangy feta cheese and fresh herbs coming together in a bowl of pure summer joy!
Wash the veggies thoroughly under running water and wipe out excess water. Cut the grape or cherry tomatoes into halves. Dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and the red onions into fine dice. Chop the fresh herbs finely. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
200 grams cherry tomatoes, 3 to 5 cucumber, 1 small red onion, 1 sprig fresh mint leaves, 2 sprig fresh parsley
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil, white vinegar, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Remember, feta can be salty, so go easy on the salt at first.
2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, Salt and pepper to taste
Gently toss all the ingredients together. Take a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
100 grams feta cheese
Gently crumble the feta cheese over the veggies. You can adjust the amount according to your taste. Don't over-mix after adding feta.
Serve immediately and refrigerate any leftovers cling-wrapped for not more than 3 to 5 days.
Notes
Cucumber: Use Persian, English or Snack varieties and adjust the quantity as per the size. Vinegar: You can use lemon juice for a zesty kick or balsamic for a slightly sweeter note.
