Johanna's scrumptious speedy simple summer salad

This salad is really tasty and really quick. Johanna puts some finely sliced red onion into it. I do not.

Barb won't like it the way I made it because it has the dreaded goat feta cheese in it. If you don't like goat feta use the cow feta. I actually thought I had bought the cow feta but didn't read the package too closely and only realized when I got home that it was the goat feta. (Sorry about all the feta talk)

I don't give quantities because I have no idea of the quantities. Look at the picture and figure it out. Don't put in too much feta because it will be overpowering. Think of the olives and feta almost as a garnish.

I also added a very tiny splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Maybe 1/4 or 1/2 of a teaspoon of each. Just to give it a bit of smoothness to the salad. Johanna doesn't add these two ingredients. (More feta talk)

Make it just before eating. I like the chopped tomatoes and cucumbers to be fairly small pieces, not crazy about big chunks.
  1. Halved grape tomatoes (or chopped tomatoes)
  2. English cucumber (diced small)
  3. Crumbled Feta
  4. Kalamata olives
  5. Olive oil
  6. Balsamic vinegar
Judy's comments. It's a take on the Mediterranean salad I make...I add black olives oregano & I use red vinegar with olive oil....its super delish!
