How To Make The Best Greek Cucumber Salad:
Start by preparing the salad ingredients. Peel and slice cucumber.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Seed and dice a large green bell pepper.
Place sliced cucumber, diced green bell pepper, and tomato halves in a large mixing bowl.
Here’s where the punch of flavor comes from. Salty Feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes and pickled red onions give this salad a huge punch of fantastic flavor!
Top with pickled red onions, and minced sun dried tomatoes.
Add half the crumbled Feta cheese to the bowl. Set aside.
Make the dressing:
Place olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a glass jar.
Seal jar with a lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Pour dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Taste and season with additional salt. It will most likely need more salt.
To Serve:
