Greek Cucumber Salad


Cucumbers are a fabulous treat during this awful heat! I got this recipe from Jordan over at Oh Happy Day.

Greek Salad

Ingredients:
Feta Cheese
1 Cucumber
2 Really good tomatoes
Can of Olives (black or kalamatas)
Onions
Oregano
Salt and pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Loaf of really good crusty bread

Instructions:
Peel the cucumber so the skin isn't so tough to chew (I like to leave a little skin for the vitamins) and cut into bite size pieces. Then cut the tomatoes into bite size pieces. Add 3/4 can of olives and some cut-up onions then spoon feta for taste. Sprinkle with oregano and salt and pepper. Finally drizzle everything in olive oil and vinegar. I use three parts olive oil and one part vinegar. This recipe is really informal and I make it different every time. This is just a loose formula to follow. Remember to dip your bread in the oil/vinegar mixture at the bottom of your salad bowl!
