To contact us Click HERE

Hello friends! I’m leaving for Europe tomorrow (yay!!), so Ithought I would leave you with a quick post before disappearing for 2 weeks! Thisone is super simple, and I’m sure many of you have had some variation before.It’s one of my summer favorites.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are at their peak during this time ofthe year, and this salad is the perfect way to take advantage. It’s a cool andrefreshing snack or side dish on those extra hot days (106 yesterday?!), and I oftenjust eat it for lunch when I’m feeling lazy and need to get rid of my fruit standbounty.  I always buy more fruits andveggies than I need and then scramble to find uses for them before they startto wilt, dimple, shrivel, and other unsavory things that make me feel guilty.It all just looks so good; I can’t help myself!
Getting Started
This one doesn’t really need a whole lot of explanation.Basically you just cut up all the veggies to your liking, toss in the rest ofthe ingredients, and mix together! Easy peasy, and it looks pretty too!
Wrapping it Up
I usually eat this salad right away because I’m generally animpatient person, but you can let yours mingle in the fridge for a little whileif desired. It will give the flavors a chance to soak in. This salad is also great withfresh herbs, such as dill, but I didn’t have any on hand this time. Feel freeto add some in!
Ingredients
1 small to medium English cucumber1 ripe tomato (preferably from afruit stand or farmer’s market, but a Roma tomato would work as well)Red onion to taste2-3 tsp vinegar (red, white, orapple cider - whatever you have on hand)1 tsp olive oil2 Tbs Feta cheeseSalt and pepper to taste
Servings: 1-2 (Depending on how you serve it)
