Drescription

This Greek-inspired tomato salad is packed with fresh veggies and flavor-boosting ingredients, like balsamic vinegar, Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese. This delicious salad takes just 15 minutes to make, and while you could eat it right away, it tastes even better the longer it sits, so plan to leave at least an hour of marinating time before serving.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 cups grape tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup thinly sliced white onion
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • 1½ cups halved and sliced cucumber
  • ¼ cup halved pitted kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Whisk ¼ cup oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add 4 cups tomatoes, ½ cup onion and ⅓ cup basil (or parsley); stir to combine. Refrigerate, stirring once or twice, for at least 1 hour. Add 1½ cups cucumber, ¼ cup olives and ¼ cup feta; toss to coat.
