The other night I pulled out my phone while making dinner, looking for inspiration to turn our abundant cucumber and tomato crops into an attractive vegetable dish. After seeing a few ideas, I began playing around.
Then hubby walked into the kitchen.
Hubby: *gasp!* Is that a Greek salad?
Me: It’s a cucumber, tomato, and feta salad. Is that Greek?
Hubby: I think so!!
So hubby decided to add olives to his salad as well.
I dunno, it’s all Greek to me!
Regardless of what you call it, this dish turned out to be both bright and refreshing! An exciting change from regular garden salads.

Do you take your salad with or without the olives?
Feta cheese is delicious. This looks good.
