Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad
Tomato cucumber feta salad is a bright, healthy combination of sweet tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and salty feta all tossed in a tangy vinaigrette. You’ll love this light salad as a starter, side, or even lunch all summer long.
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!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
Can I make this tomato cucumber feta salad ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this salad earlier in the day you intend to serve it or even the night before.
Since there are no delicate greens, the salad holds up pretty well in the fridge.
Tips and Tricks
- Peeling the cucumber is optional and to your preference.
- Make it a meal by adding some grilled chicken or fish to the salad!
- Not a fan of feta? Substitute cojita, ricotta salata or another crumbly cheese.
