Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber. These will be the base of your salad.

    Add Feta and Olives: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and the sliced Kalamata olives, ensuring not to break the feta too much.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon zest if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

          Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is well coated with the dressing.

            Chill: Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.

              Serve: Toss again before serving and enjoy your refreshing Mediterranean Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad on a hot day or as a side with grilled proteins!
