10-Minute Summer Veggie Salad
Description
The 10-Minute Summer Veggie Salad balances a variety of diced fresh vegetables with the rich creaminess of feta cheese. The olive oil-based dressing uses fresh parsley, lemon juice, oregano, and minced garlic to add brightness and subtle aromatic notes. Chilling the salad for about an hour allows the flavors to meld and the dressing to lightly soften the vegetables.
The fresh vegetables preserve their crisp texture, creating contrast with the soft, slightly salty feta. The dressing ties the components together with tang and mild herbs suited for summer dining.
This salad works well as a side dish accompanying grilled meals or as a light vegetarian option. Its straightforward preparation and quick assembly make it convenient for casual gatherings or weekday meals.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge helps maintain freshness for 3 to 5 days, allowing for easy make-ahead usage.
