Because I have so many tomatoes in the season I like to have quite a few recipes that I can rotate through and that family loves. Some of my go-toes are Summer Panzanella with Garlic Butter Croutons or Greek Panzanella or a simple Horiatiki Salad. Oh, and I almost forgot this Penne Alla Vecchia Bettola, made from my Roma tomatoes is one of the most popular recipes on this site (do yourself a favor and check this one out).

Cut the tomatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Add the onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley and toss well. Dice the feta into a - to -inch dice, crumbling it as little as possible. Gently fold it into the salad and serve at room temperature.
The feta cheese gives this salad satisfying Greek Salad flavor and adds the salty notes so you hardly have to add any salt (or you can skip the salt altogether). When you add salt to cucumbers and tomatoes, they start to get juicy and soft so less salt means the salad will stay crisp longer.
Hi NatashaI have been making a similar salad for years from the South Beach Diet cookbook. Instead of cumin I use oregano and no garlic. I look forward to trying yours with the cumin and garlic. Love your recipes!
Yesterday I invited my few friends for lunch. I made this salad without garlic. As one of my guests was allergic to it. Everybody liked it. The taste and colorful presentation was appreciated by all. Thanks for recipe and Tips, dear Natasha.
A traditional Greek salad consists of sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. This classic combination is delicious, so I stick to it, just adding a handful of mint leaves for a fresh finishing touch.
My olives of choice are Kalamata olives. Commonly used in Greek food, their salty, briny flavor is delectable alongside the feta and crisp veggies. Instead of slicing large tomatoes, I use cherry tomatoes because they release less water into the salad than larger tomatoes would. I also seed my cucumber to avoid making my salad watery.
A great salad will have a yummy jumble of veggies, olives, and cheese in each bite, so be sure to cut your ingredients into similar-sized pieces. I like to buy pitted Kalamata olives and leave them whole, and I chop the feta into 1/2-inch cubes instead of crumbling it. I aim for 1-inch squares for the bell pepper, cut the cucumber into thin half-moons, and simply halve the cherry tomatoes.
If you want to vary this salad recipe, try using use a mix of red, green, and yellow bell peppers, adding some fresh oregano or parsley, or stirring in cooked or roasted chickpeas to make it a full meal. To make it vegan, skip the cheese and add 3/4 cup cooked chickpeas and 1 tablespoon capers in its place.
We ate Greek salad every day while in Greece. The salads served in various restaurants, cities and islands had the same base (tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers and olives with thick slices of feta on top). However, some restaurants did add sliced green bell peppers and/or capers. The dressing was always a simple mixture of just red wine vinegar, olive oil, and oregano. Either way it was always delicious.
After viewing this recipe on Pinterest, I have eaten this almost daily at work! Takes about 5 minutes to prepare. For a single serving, I cut a whole cucumber, peeled. I slice about 10-12 grape tomatoes in half. Cut up some red onion. I use crumbled feta cheese for a quick add. And finally, for the dressing, I use Lighthouse Red Wine & Olive Oil dressing which you can find in the cold section, next to the salads. Love this salad!
Made this tonight to go along with brats and potatoes on the grill. One of my cucumbers was bad so I only had two but they were bigger. We were out of feta but had a ball of fresh mozz so I chunked that up. I eyeballed the mustard and used more garlic and s&p because my husband and I just like it that way. It was amazing! So simple and yet so full of flavor! This one will be going into the rotation especially with our cucumbers and tomatoes getting ready for harvest in our garden. Thanks!

We've been eating a lot of salad this summer, particularly because we've had such a great crop of tomatoes and red onions! I like the addition of feta in this salad. Going to make this for lunch tomorrow!
Crumbled feta is salty and creamy, making it the perfect cheese to use on this Greek salad. It pairs really well with cucumbers, Roma or grape tomatoes, red onion, and of course, kalamata olives. All of those veggies need a delicious dressing, and this salad recipe has one!
One great thing about this salad is that all of the ingredients are easy to find any time of the year. However, cucumber, onion and tomato salad with fresh garden vegetables are some of the best for summer picnics and cookouts.

I love tomatoes in the summer! I have been waiting for this time of year because they just don't taste as good the rest of the year. My farmers market opens this weekend and I can't wait to buy some tomatoes and make this salad. It looks delicious.
This Cucumber Tomato Feta Salad is the perfect Summer salad/side dish. So easy to make with simple, fresh ingredients. We love to make this cucumber tomato salad as a snack or a simple side for whatever is on the menu for dinner. It is good with everything!
To make this salad ahead, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and dressing. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Just before serving add the basil and feta cheese. I would not make this more than 24 hours in advance of when you will be serving.
The great thing about this salad? Even though it has acidic ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and vinegar, the acidity is tamed quite a bit by pickling the red onions and adding just a touch of sugar. The balance of flavors is fantastic!
Now- last part- toss the pickled onion mixture in with the cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Minus the lemon. Actually, you could totally use lemon juice instead of vinegar in this, now that I think of it.
A Cucumber Tomato Onion Salad that is light and fresh, tossed with crisp vegetables and salty feta cheese. This delicious salad makes the perfect summer lunch or dinner side dish. It's a great salad for all those extra cucumbers and tomatoes mass producing in your garden, particularly in the peak summer months.
Serving Tip: Add the prepared dressing and feta cheese right before eating to create a fresh feta salad presentation. Once salt touches the cucumber or tomato, they will soften, and get juicy.
I used red, yellow, and orange heirloom tomatoes and fresh cut purple and green basil from my garden. Make sure to use the toasted pine nuts for added texture. The feta, baked with lemon zest, fresh oregano, chile flakes, and olive oil, contributed all of those flavors to the salad.
Whisk vinegar, oil, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, onion and basil (or parsley); stir to combine. Refrigerate, stirring once or twice, for at least 1 hour. Add cucumber, olives and feta and toss to coat.
You can make this salad partially in advance through Step 3 below. Be sure the lentils are warm when you toss them with the marinated onion, olive oil and garlic, so they can better absorb all of those flavors. The salad then needs to cool off before adding the herbs. This will ensure that the herbs remain fresh and vibrant. 2ff7e9595c
