Mediterranean Tomato and Cucumber Salad

This is a healthier side dish you won’t have to feel guilty eating. It’s a nice, cold, summer salad that tastes great with everything from chicken to hamburgers.

It brings together the flavors of the Mediterranean with Greek feta cheese, Italian oregano and olive oil with summer’s favorite vegetables- tomatoes and cucumbers. You may also like my Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad which is very delicious!

The feta cheese gives it a nice salty and delicious flavor to the common tomato cucumber salad. Doesn’t cheese make everything taste better? Yet, there isn’t a lot of cheese per serving to make you feel guilty. It’s just enough to add some great flavor.

Making this salad side dish is very easy. It’s just a matter of cutting up cucumbers and adding the remaining ingredients. Because it’s so easy-to-make, it’s a good weeknight side dish. It’s something you won’t dread prepping after coming home from a long day’s work.

It’s also a great way to use up garden tomatoes because you don’t have to use grape tomatoes. Use any kind you like. Use garden cucumbers too. That’d be great too.
