This season I planted two cherry tomato plants, and they’re giving me fruit like never before. I am quite seriously up to my eyeballs in cherry tomatoes, and that’s fine by me. They’re sweet and perfectly delicious.
I’ve said it before – there’s nothing worse than a January tomato. So, it makes sense that there’s nothing better than an August tomato. These have been going in almost every recipe I make lately, and this classic Greek Cucumber, Tomato & Feta Salad is a great way to use up a pint of my little beauties.
Greek Cucumber, Tomato & Feta Salad
Ingredients
- 4 persian cucumbers, sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces feta cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ⅓ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Add sliced cucumbers to a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Toss with your hands and let sit for 10 minutes. Gently squeeze out water and dab with a paper towel.
- Add sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, cubed feta cheese, diced red onion, chopped mint and basil to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper and minced garlic to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Whisk in ⅓ cup olive oil until emulsified.
- Pour dressing onto the ingredients in the larger bowl and toss to combine. Serve immediately. This can be made a few hours in advance, but it’s best served fresh.

Best cucumber salad ever! I am also enjoying an abundance of sweet cherry tomatoes from my garden this year!
Garden tomatoes are so great and are what inspired me to make this salad on repeat.
