A simple, refreshing salad featuring crisp cucumber, ripe tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and a bright lemon-oregano dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the cucumbers and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives.
  • If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad, then drain well.
  • This salad tastes best when served the same day it is made.
