A delicious Romanian Summer Salad that is easy and cheap to put together. Goes well with any and all BBQ dishes!
Rinse and dry your vegetables. Slice the ends off of the cucumber then cut in half length-wise. Lay the cucumber halves on their flat slide then put your knife to an angle and make long, angular cuts. Or you can cut them into half moons. You decide!
For large, round tomatoes I like to slice them into thin wedges. If you are using small tomatoes just slice them in half.
Add the sliced vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped herbs, olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, feta, and salt. Use a spoon or similar tool to thoroughly combine the salad. You can eat it right then but it tastes better after it has marinated in a fridge for at least an hour. I love to serve it with grilled chicken, pork, or beef and plenty of crusty bread.
Note 1: I most often use Bulgarian feta that is sold in a brine. It has a much creamier texture than the dry, pre-crumbled feta sold in plastic tubs. If you cannot find Bulgarian feta then any other feta in brine will work.
Storage: This salad will last up to 4 days in the fridge in a covered container.
