Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups sliced English cucumbers
1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 red onion (finely sliced)
1 large red pepper (diced)
1 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)

1/3 cup chopped fresh mint (lightly packed)

Steps:

  • Begin by placing cucumbers and cherry tomatoes in a bowl and sprinkling them with salt. Mix well and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to draw out excess liquid. Set aside.
  • While the cucumbers and tomatoes are soaking, add the red onion, red pepper, olives, feta, and fresh mint in a large bowl.
  • Next, pour the cucumbers and tomatoes into a sieve and discard the excess liquid. Add them to the bowl with the rest of the salad ingredients and gently mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Finally, add 3-4 tablespoons of Greek salad dressing to the bowl and mix until all of the ingredients are covered in dressing. Serve immediately.
  • If this Greek salad is a meal prep meal, wait to add the dressing until right before serving.
