This salad is very refreshing and versatile. It’s a great brunch side dish. It goes especially well with quiche and eggplant dishes. Stuff salad into warm whole wheat pita bread for a terrific sandwich.
Ingredients
Salad Veggies
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 yellow squash, diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
- or 3 – 4 tomatoes, diced
- 2 slices red onion, diced
- or the entire thing diced, because you love tang + flavor + crunch
- 1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup wine vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp oregano
Recipe
Combine salad veggies and feta cheese. Combine dressing ingredients and pour over salad. (If you don’t like your salad too liquid-y, reserve some of the dressing — it makes a great tossed salad dressing, too.) Recipe takes about 30 – 45 minutes to prepare, depending on how fast your knife skills are. Serves 6 – 8.
