Tomato, Cucumber & feta salad

Ingredients: 

• 6 small Persian cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
• 4 pints grape or small cherry tomatoes, red or mixed colors
• 1/4 cup good white wine vinegar
• 6 tablespoons good olive oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 1/2 pounds feta cheese

A few notes on making this:

• I love this for a fresh summertime salad—it travels well and works great at room temperature. Take it to a backyard party or the beach!
• This is a perfect salad to make when tomatoes are in peak season.

Directions:

• Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them in a large bowl.
• Halve cucumber(s) lengthwise, then slice into 1/4 in pieces and add to tomatoes.
• Add the vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley and toss well.
• Dice the feta in 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes, crumbling it as little as possible and fold it into the salad.
• Serve at room temperature.
