This lettuce-free salad is the perfect side dish, lunch, or light supper, especially on a warm day!
Ingredients:
3 medium     Tomatoes, wedged
2 small          Cucumbers, wedged
1 small           Red onion, sliced thinly
1/2 cup          Kalamata olives, pitted
2 oz               Feta cheese, cubed (~1/2 cup)
1/3 cup         Greek Vinaigrette
4 whole        Pepperocinis, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare the vegetables. Cut your tomatoes and cucumbers into small, bit-sized pieces. If you'd like, instead of the medium tomatoes you can use 1 1/2 pints cherry tomatoes, cut in half. Also, thinly slice the red onion.
2. Combine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives in a bowl.
3. Cut feta into small cubes. The feta may crumble a bit as you cut it into cubes. Add to your vegetable mixture - but don't stir just yet.
4. Add Greek Vinaigrette and toss lightly to coat.
5. For best results, use homemade Greek Vinaigrette and once the salad is combined, let rest in the refrigerator (covered) for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
6. Garnish with Pepperocinis, if desired. Enjoy!
