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.
