Greek Cucumber Salad

This little summer side dish goes with just about everything! The cucumbers are nice and crisp, the feta and olives add the perfect salty bite, and the Greek dressing brightens it all up. This is great on the side as a little salad, but also delicious for topping a pita sandwich.

Ingredients

1 English cucumber
1 red bell pepper diced
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
½ red onion thinly sliced
½ cup pitted kalamata olives
6 ounces feta cheese crumbled
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning optional
½ recipe Greek salad dressing
Fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
Add the cucumber to a mixing bowl along with the diced peppers, cherry tomatoes, sliced onion, olives, feta cheese and Greek seasoning. Stir to combine.
Pour the dressing over the top and stir to combine. Top with fresh dill.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

My homemade Greek dressing is a favorite of mine, but when I’m in a hurry I use Ken’s Greek Dressing. An extra hit of lemon juice brightens everything up if you do use bottled dressing. You’ll need around ¾ cup of dressing.
