Super Fresh Cucumber Salad is a cold, crunchy, juicy mix of flavorful vegetables topped with a simple red wine and oregano vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Freshly cracked pepper
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 4 Roma tomatoes (about 1 lb.)
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1/4 bunch parsley
  • 2 oz feta

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the vinaigrette first to let the flavors blend as you prepare the rest of the salad. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper. Set the dressing aside.

  2. 2

    Peel the cucumbers if desired. Dice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Thinly slice the red onion*. Pull the parsley leaves from their stems, then give them a rough chop. Crumble the feta cheese.

  3. 3

    Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, parsley, and feta in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over top, and toss to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat. This salad holds up well over a few days in the refrigerator. Be sure to stir briefly to redistribute the flavors before serving.
