Easy Cucumber, Tomato and Feta Salad
If you love Greek salad but don't always have olives and peppers in the fridge, this simpler cucumber, tomato and feta salad is for you. It's just as fresh, colorful and delicious, but a little faster and easier to make. It's hard to think of anything this doesn't go with - grilled chicken or fish, quiche, pasta, and more. Serve it at your next BBQ - it's perfect!
Ingredients
