Cucumber Tomato Feta & Olive Salad
This Cucumber Tomato Feta & Olive Salad is bright and bursting with flavor from cucumbers and Garlic Basil Cherry tomatoes, to feta cheese and my favorite, kalamata olives, marinated in a Homemade Honey Dill Vinaigrette. It’s one of those salads you crave as the weather starts to warm up, especially if you’re tired of leafy salads that just don’t seem to fill you up. It makes for a beautiful and tasty lunch, but it also makes a great dinner when topped with a piece of grilled chicken.

Leftovers, if you have any, will stay good in the fridge for several days. I’m planning to make a big batch to keep in the fridge to eat all week.
oh, and this would make a GREAT dish to take to a summer BBQ or picnic! Much more fun and flavorful than potato salad or coleslaw. This Cucumber, Tomato, Feta & Olive salad would surely steal the show!
Are you ready?!!!!!!!!
Today is the day I’ve been telling you about for two weeks. The day we celebrate SALAD! It’s time to grab those tongs and toss up your best salad recipe.
Why are we celebrating salad? Because the International Olive Council’s Add Some Life campaign would like to remind us that healthy eating does not need to be boring, bland and unsatisfying.
By adding color with fruits, vegetables, and heart-healthy olive oils, it’s easy to achieve a satisfying, nutrient-rich diet that’s as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate. Bright red tomatoes. Ripe olives of deep ebony. Vivid red and green peppers. An array of bold cheese varieties and crusty bread. Intensely green olives. The warm, golden hue of olive oil. Aesthetically — and nutritionally — healthy eating is a thing of beauty.
Eating salad almost every day may be one of the most healthy eating habits you can adopt! Let’s see what you’ve got!

Hi Cheryl,
I linked up my Chinese Cabbage Salad. It’s always a hit at our parties.
I linked up a warm potato salad!
My favorite salad is Asain Coleslaw. You dice 6 green onions and mix them in a large bowl with a bag of Coleslaw mix. For the dressing, mix together 3 T olive oil, 3 T apple cider vinegar, 3 T Splenda, and the flavor packet of a package of Chicken Ramen Noodles. Drizzle the dressing over the coleslaw and mix well. Crush the reserved ramen noodles and sprinkle them over the top before serving! Yum!
I added my recipe: Honey Lime Fruit Toss.

PHEW…just made the cutoff!! 🙂 Just added a salad to the social.
I do not have a blog. I love salads. All kinds. My go to salad is lettuce (iceberg, romaine and leaf), carrots, celery, purple onions, black olives, grilled chicken and cucumbers. I use Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (made with almond milk and organic mayo) and topped with sliced almonds. If making for my guests I add cheese.
Just linked up!
