Cucumber Feta Salad

Refreshing cucumber feta salad with purple onion and grape tomatoes.

Easy, crisp, and refreshing salad!

This salad is a great addition to many dishes. It's easy, quick, crisp, and refreshing. The key is to use a crisp cucumber varietal like a seedless (aka English) cucumber or Persian cucumbers. If you are looking to save. Currently a seedless cucumber is less than a dollar (only one is needed); whereas, Persian cucumbers are about $4-5 for a bag. The tanginess of a 1:1 volume ratio of lime : olive oil is the perfect balance for me. Plus, the feta neutralizes some of the tanginess and contributes to the saltiness of the salad. Create YOUR perfect, no-fuss cucumber feta salad!

Any Tips?

Storage: I do recommend eating the salad the same day it's made because the limes soften the cucumbers over time.
