How to make this cucumber tomato onion feta salad
Prep the ingredients
For this recipe, I washed, peeled and diced the cucumbers and red onion. If you are growing your own cucumbers or buying from organic farmers, then feel free to leave the cucumber skin on.
I washed the tomatoes, removed the tops and diced them too along with a small block of feta cheese. Here’s a look at everything prepped.
Mix the dressing
I washed a lemon, cut in half and squeezed to get fresh juice. I also peeled and finely chopped some garlic cloves here (although I would suggest mincing the garlic!).
In a small bowl, I added the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Toss together
All that’s left to do is simply pour the dressing all over the veggies and feta and toss to coat everything. You can taste test to see if the salad has enough salt and adjust accordingly.
As I said, this is a mild dressing so it’s not particularly noticeable. Feel free to add in extra oil, lemon and honey if you like along with fresh herbs.
This is a large bowl of salad! Be sure to cover and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
It really tastes so good cold making it a perfect cucumber salad for summer! Pair it with just about anything from pan seared chicken breast, grilled red snapper, honey mustard salmon and more.
