Fresh and bursting with flavor, this salad is a great way to use up the summer harvest.

Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber (peeled if waxed), chopped
• 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small red onion, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup feta cheese
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, each

Instructions

1. Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, and feta in a large bowl
2. Combine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a bowl and mix well
3. Pour vinegar and oil mixture over salad and toss gently to combine
4. Let salad marinate for at least 10 minutes for added flavor!

Notes

• Add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, and/or a can of any beans for added flavor, protein, and fiber! For a Mediterranean flavor, add oregano and basil.
• Feta cheese comes in many varieties–for a creamier texture, look for a cheese made with cow’s milk. For easy prep, buy feta crumbles.
• Add chopped bell peppers for crunch or jalapeños for spice
