A refreshing summer salad combining garden-fresh vegetables with a bright, citrusy dressing.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 -6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 3 ripe tomatoes cut into wedges
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese optional
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash all vegetables thoroughly. If using garden cucumbers, peel them first as the skin can be bitter. For English cucumbers, leaving the skin on is fine.
  • Slice cucumbers into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick) and place in a large bowl.
  • Cut tomatoes into wedges or bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
  • Thinly slice the red onion and add to the mixture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and honey until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and feta cheese if using.
  • Let the salad rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
