Perfectly balanced with a simple extra virgin olive oil and vinegar dressing, this vibrant side dish requires no cooking, making it an ideal choice for healthy meal prep or any summer gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

2 large English cucumbers
4 medium Roma tomatoes
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
1/2 cup block-style feta cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (non-alcoholic)
1 teaspoon dried oregano


Instructions

Rinse all produce thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the English cucumbers into half-inch cubes.
Chop the Roma tomatoes into sizes that match the cucumbers for consistent bites.
Thinly slice the red onion to ensure a milder flavor profile.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and pitted olives.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Top with crumbled feta cheese right before serving and garnish if desired.

Notes

Use block-style feta and crumble it yourself for the best texture and flavor. To keep the salad crisp, do not add the dressing or feta until just before you are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
