I was introduced to this super simple salad recipe when traveling in Eastern Europe. A similar recipe exists in multiple of those countries, and always stars three main ingredients: cucumbers, tomatoes and feta. From there, everything else is optional.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 3 tomatoes, diced
- 1 feta cheese, diced
- 0.5 red bell pepper, diced optional
- 1 small red onion optional
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil optional
- 0.5 tbsp red wine vinegar optional
- Fresh parsley, thinly chopped optional
- Pepper and salt optional
Instructions
- Dice the cucumber, feta cheese, tomatoes and bell pepper. Dice the onion in small pieces. Add everything to a big salad bowl.
- Drizzle sunflower oil and vinegar over diced vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Chop parsley and sprinkle on salad. Stir to coat evenly.
Notes
- Note: It is possible to omit everything except for the cucumber, tomatoes and feta cheese.
