CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD WITH FETA

 From: Bowl of Delicious

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup red onion quartered and thinly sliced (about 1 small onion)
• 2 cucumbers medium sized
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 4 oz. feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, or other herbs such as dill, chives, or cilantro
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

• In a small bowl, mix together the red wine vinegar (2 tablespoons), sugar (1 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Add the sliced red onions and stir to coat. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• While you let the onions sit: cut the ends off the cucumber, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Discard the seeds and slice the cucumber thinly, about 1/4" thick. Add to a large bowl. (And if you prefer, you can peel the cucumber before cutting it.)
• Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add to the large bowl as well.
• If your feta cheese isn't already crumbled, use a fork to crumble it and add it to the large bowl.
• Drizzle the olive oil (1/4 cup) into the small bowl with the onions, add the chopped fresh parsley (2 tablespoons) or other herbs, and mix together.
• Pour the onion mixture into the large bowl with the remaining ingredients and toss to coat. Serve immediately for best results.
