Greek Cucumber Salad

This flavorful Greek Cucumber Salad is prepared with fresh crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, black olives and feta cheese tossed in an easy homemade Greek dressing.  It’s a satisfying and refreshing vegetable side dish!

This delicious salad requires just 15 minutes of prep time and is full of healthy veggies.  It’s definitely a must-make for spring and summer, but can be enjoyed year-round.

It’s a perfect side dish for just about any main course, but I especially love it with grilled chicken and seafood!

Your ingredient list is quite simple – the majority of what you will need you probably already have on-hand.

How to Make It

This couldn’t be any easier!  Simply combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, toss the salad ingredients together in a medium bowl, then drizzle the dressing over the salad.  Gently toss to coat as evenly as possible.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

This is best served immediately so that the cucumbers and onion are perfectly crisp.  If you decide to make it ahead of time, I’d add the tomatoes and feta cheese just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.

If you enjoy the simplicity and versatility of cucumber salads, be sure to also try my basic cucumber tomato salad, corn, tomato and cucumber salad and creamy cucumber salad.

Enjoy!

• This is best served immediately.  If you choose to make ahead, add the tomatoes and feta cheese just before serving and toss to combine.
