Ingredients
- Cucumbers: English cucumbers have the best flavor because of their thinner skin and work best in this recipe. You can peel the cucumber if you like or keep the skin on.
- Tomatoes: I like to use halved cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes so you don’t get as much juice from the tomato.
- Feta: use crumbled feta or you can crumble your own. If using block feta, be sure to drain it well before using.
- Red Onions: thinly sliced red onion add great flavor and crunch.
- Parsley: chopped Italian parsley is best but you can use other fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, or fresh dill.
- Olive Oil: extra-virgin olive oil is the best option for the dressing.
