Marinated Tomato/Cucumber Salad with Herbs

By JoyT

I really like English Cucumbers and Feta cheese and thought it would really add a bit more to the salad.

Ingredients

• 6 to 8 ripe tomatoes
• 4 green onions
• 1 medium English cucumber
• 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 to 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Handful fresh parsley leaves, lightly chopped
• 12 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
• 1/2 cup of Feta Cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the tomatoes into 4 wedges, then cut the wedges in half and add to a bowl. Lop off the tops of the green onions, then slice the white and mostly light green parts really thin. Add to the tomatoes. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and then slice into no more than 1/4 inch slices.

Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, dash of salt and pepper to a jar. Screw on the lid and shake to combine. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and toss.

Add the herbs and gently toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

Top salad with Feta cheese just prior to serving.
