Greek Cucumber Salad

Last cucumber from our harvest at my sister's while they were away.

We do not have cucumber salad very often. This recipe was in a newsletter from Food Talk.

We had burgers for dinner so this was a perfect side. The dressing was quite good. I made half the recipe and it was plenty for us.

Ingredients-

Cucumber  Salad

1 cucumber, sliced

1 bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Salad Dressing

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

salt, and pepper to taste

Method-

In a large bowl, combine cucumber, diced green peppers, sliced red onion, and halved grape or cherry tomatoes.

Toss in the Kalamata olives. Crumble the feta cheese over the salad.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Allow the salad to sit for 15-30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. 

Sprinkle extra feta on top, if desired.
