Ingredients
  

Fresh Vegetables
  • 2 pieces cucumbers Fresh and crisp, providing a refreshing crunch. Substitutions: English cucumbers are excellent, but any variety will work.
  • 3 pieces ripe tomatoes Juicy and sweet, look for heirloom for a vibrant color.
  • 1/2 cup red onion Thinly sliced for a bite of sharpness. Consider scallions for a milder taste.
Cheese
  • 1 cup feta cheese Crumpled or cubed, it adds creaminess and tang. Use sheep or goat’s milk feta for richer flavor.

Preparation
  1. Rinse the cucumbers and tomatoes under cold water. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then cut into half-moons. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. Toss gently to mix the vegetables.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the vegetable mix and fold it gently to incorporate.
  5. Crumble or cube the feta cheese over the salad, being careful not to break it down too much.
  6. Pour the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the salad, allowing everything to glisten.
  7. Gently toss the salad until all the ingredients are coated. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh to retain its crispness. For kids, cut the vegetables into fun shapes and offer cheese on the side.
