Ingredients

Salad
  • 3 large cucumbers
  • 12 oz. mini heirloom tomatoes
  • feta cheese for serving
Vinaigrette
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • Zest of 1 lemon about 1 tablespoon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh thyme chopped

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mason jar, measure in the olive oil and lemon juice.
  2. Add the lemon zest, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.
  3. Shake until combined, then set aside.
Make the salad
  1. Peel the cucumbers using a vegetable peeler.
  2. Use the prongs of a fork to create ridges on the cucumber before slicing. This will help the dressing soak into the cucumbers.
  3. Slice the tomatoes in half (or quarters, depending on their size).
  4. Place the cucumbers and tomatoes in a large bowl.
  5. Pour the prepared dressing over them. The salad can be served immediately or you can chill it, then serve. (If you chill the salad, the texture changes, and the cucumbers and tomatoes soften up in the vinaigrette, and they’re gorgeous.)
  6. When serving, sprinkle feta cheese onto the salad, and enjoy.
