Healthy and Simple Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Summer tomatoes and veggies are my favorite thing! With the season just around the corner, it's time to start creating delicious, light recipes.

Beachside, poolside, or simply after a long work day, this dish is such a refreshing salad. It is delicious by itself, paired with a protein for dinner, or even as a dip with some pita chips! To make it a larger salad, simply put it on top of a bed of romaine or other crunchy lettuce and add more dressing. It's a versatile and delicious dish!

Ingredients

Summer tomatoes, cucumbers, purple onion, and feta are the main ingredients to the simple salad. Red wine vinegar, olive oil, and Italian seasonings bring it all together.

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 4 medium cucumbers
• ¼ purple onion
• 2 ounces feta cheese
• Red Wine Vinegar
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Italian Seasoning
