Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and prepare all produce. Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes, and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Crumble the reduced-fat feta cheese over the salad and give it a light toss to distribute the cheese.
Cover the bowl and let the salad sit in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light appetizer.
