Greek Cucumber Salad

Tangy Greek Cucumber Salad with feta cheese, red onion, fresh parsley, tomato, and cucumbers. All tossed in a Greek Salad dressing for a simple appetizer recipe or as a side dish.

One of the best things about summer is all the fresh fruits and veggies. I love heading to a local Farmer's Market to pick out all the amazing fresh goodies the season has to offer us.

This Greek Cucumber Salad is a great recipe to use those fresh cucumbers and tomatoes in. A crispy cucumber gives a nice crunch while the tomato gives a fresh softness to the salad.

It almost reminds me of Pico De Gallo with all the fresh ingredients.

Easy Cucumber Salad

One of the things that I like about this cucumber salad is the feta cheese in it. I'm a total cheese fan so this is definitely something I enjoy.

I also like how easy it is to make and that you can use fresh ingredients.

I start by peeling two cucumbers with a veggie peeler, you could leave the skin on if you like. My family normal prefers the skin off so that is what I did. Once the cucumber is peeled I cut in it in half lengthwise.

Then I will make two more long cuts in each half and cut these into cubes. Add the cubbed cucumbers into a large bowl.

Dicing a red onion into smaller bite sizes I add that into the bowl with the cucumber. I like using fresh herbs whenever I can so I decided that I would mince up fresh parsley to add to this dish.

Since tomatoes can be kind of messy, normally I will save them for last to cut up. Taking two larger tomatoes I then cut them into bitesize chunks.

Making The Cucumber Salad Greek

To make this cucumber salad a Greek Cucumber Salad I added Feta Cheese.

If you have never had Feta cheese before I recommend trying it. Feta cheese can be made with sheep's milk or a combination of sheep's and goat's milk.

It's a crumbly aged cheese with a bit of a tangy and salty taste to it. Feta is great in salads or server in dishes with olives.

I'm not a huge fan of olives but you could also add some to this salad if you like olives.

For the dressing, I went simple and used a store-bought Greek Salad dressing. Drizzled the dressing over the salad ingredients and then tossed everything to coat and combine.

What To Serve With Greek Cucumber Salad

I like to serve this fresh salad with grilled chicken and corn on the cob. I think this would also be a great side dish to have with pulled pork or a grilled steak.

This salad goes well as a side dish with almost any meal so you really can't wrong with this recipe. This would be great for a dish to pass at a cookout.

This recipe is best served cold. The cucumber and tomatoes will secrete water causing the salad to become watery. After a day this recipe may become watery, remove some of the liquid from the salad and serve again.
