Notes

Can add chili flakes to make it more spicy.
Cilantro can be substituted for your favorite fresh herbs.
If you prefer, use mozzarella or halloumi instead of feta.
Add in some (cooked and cooled) quinoa to make this cucumber tomato salad a little heartier!
Add dressing only when ready to serve; otherwise, the tomatoes and cucumbers will get too juicy and soft from the salt in the dressing.

Storage: Store cucumber tomato salad with feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
