Delicious Cucumber Salad

September 29, 2012 by Mom on the Make Leave a Comment

cucumber saladMy sister is in town this weekend, and she suggested that I try a recipe out that she found recently.

The recipe has some of my favorite items including feta cheese, cucumbers, red onions, kalamata olives, and lemon juice.

The mixture of the feta cheese with the lemon juice provided a perfect dressing for this salad.  Its so great when you can create a delicious tasting salad that does not need traditional, fatty salad dressing.  The feta cheese  was more than enough to create a flavor festival in your mouth.

Here’s the easy recipe….

Ingredients for cucumber salad

Gather Ingredients: red onion, cucumber, tomato, red pepper, garlic, kalamata olives, feta cheese, and lemons.

Chop red onion and garlic. I read that to receive maximum health benefits from red onions and garlic, you should chop them, and let them sit for 5 minutes before adding to your dish. A little different, but it was easy to try out. I just chopped these first, then went on to the other veggie chopping.
