I was looking for a summery salad recipe and thought of a nice Greek cucumber salad.
Cucumber, Tomato, and Feta Salad
6 Persian Cucumbers sliced thin (I used a mandolin)
1 small package Grape Tomatoes, cut in half or quarters
1 4 oz package Feta Cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup chopped Scallions
1/4 cup coarsely chopped Mint
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
3 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, and scallions. In a separate bowl mix lemon juice and olive oil with a whisk until they combine. Add mint, salt and pepper to the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the dressing to the cucumber and tomato mix. Toss to coat. The longer it sits to better the flavors get.
It is a very refreshing salad. You could spice it up if you'd like with some crushed red peppers or jalapenos. If you want it a bit more Greek add some sliced olives.
