It's Greek (Salad) to me!

Many years ago, a friend shared her family recipe for this Greek Salad with me.  It is refreshing and makes a great change from lettuce based salads.  Not to mention, easy to make, great tasting and pretty decent nutritionally - all making this a weekly lunch "special" each spring/summer. 


What you need:
English Cucumber*
Red Onion
Tomato (Roma/Garden/or what you have)
Feta Cheese
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice

* English cucumbers also go under the name burpless or seedless.  They come in a long version or multi-packs of a miniature version.  If you don't have these, simply take a spoon and scoop out the seeds of a garden cucumber - or leave them is you prefer (but note that the ackward side effects many have related to this veggie are a result of the seeds usually).

Chop your veggies and put them in a large bowl.  If using grape-sized tomatoes, cut them in half.  Add feta crumbles.  In a jar or a bowl large enough to mix dressing in, use equal parts of good olive oil and good/fresh lemon juice.  Add a pinch of salt and pepper.  Mix well and pour over the chopped veggies and feta.  Mix.  Refridgerate for a bit, just long enough to chill.  Toast up some pita or pocket bread to sop up the extra dressing and enjoy this guilt-free treat.
