When summer rolls around and my tomatoes run rampant, I love using them in anything and everything.

They are the flavor of sunshine and warm days after all.

And in this tomato cucumber feta salad their bright sweetness contrasts so nicely with the refreshing cucumber and sharp, salty feta.

It’s the perfect summer salad to throw together.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need two sets of ingredients- one for the salad and one for the dressing.

For the salad you’ll need:

  • Cucumber– Peeled and chopped; however, peeling isn’t necessary if you don’t mind it. For bigger bites of cucumber, slice into coins and cut the coins in half.
  • Tomatoes– This calls for chopped Roma tomatoes, but you could also substitute halved cherry or grape tomatoes. If you prefer bigger bites of tomato don’t chop the roma tomatoes, but quarter them instead.
  • Red onion– Chopped or thinly sliced
  • Feta cheese– Roughly crumbled

For the vinaigrette you’ll need:

  • Olive oil– Don’t substitute this for another kind of oil. You’ll want the fruity flavor from real olive oil.
  • Vinegar– Red wine vinegar
  • Mustard– Dijon
  • Spices– Dried oregano, minced garlic, salt and pepper

How to Make

This salad is so easy to make!

To do it, toss the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and feta together in a large bowl.

Set the salad aside while you make the dressing.

To make the vinaigrette, whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl until evenly incorporated and smooth.

Then, pour the dressing evenly out over the salad and toss it well to combine.

Serve right away, or refrigerate and serve when chilled.

Enjoy!

Can I make this tomato cucumber feta salad ahead of time?
