What You'll Need:

For the Salad
+ 5 mini cucumbers, halved and sliced

+ 4 heirloom tomatoes, diced

+ 1 large green bell pepper, chopped

+ ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced

+ 4 to 6 ounces french feta cheese, crumbled, for serving

+ 1 large handful fresh mint, roughly torn for serving

+ Flaky salt for serving

+ Freshly ground black pepper for serving

For the Vinaigrette
+ 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar

+ Juice of 1 lemon (about 2-3 tablespoons)

+ 1 large clove garlic, minced or pressed

+ 1 teaspoons salt

+ ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

+ 1 teaspoon dried oregano

+ ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar

+ ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Serves 4-6

1. In the base of a large mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and granulated sugar.

2. While whisking vigorously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the vinaigrette begins to thicken and emulsify, 1 to 2 minutes.

Note: You can also combine all of the ingredients into a mason jar and shake, storing in the fridge until it’s time to dress, toss and serve!

3. Once ready to serve, add the cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion into the same large mixing bowl with the vinaigrette at the base.

4. Using wooden spoons, gently toss to combine until all ingredients are well coated. Transfer to a large serving dish and top with feta, fresh mint, flaky salt and pepper.
