This Potluck Friendly Salad Will be a Huge Hit!

My default salads always include cucumbers and tomatoes, and both are so wonderful right now that I’m taking advantage of their deliciousness.  Here’s a beautiful salad and even looks a little patriotic!  Take it on a picnic or to a potluck, and the reviews will be rave!

• 1 pint of organic cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in halves or quarters
• 1 large organic English cucumber, cut into quarters and sliced
• 1/3 cup sliced kalamata olives
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 3 oz of crumbled feta cheese
• 1 TBSP organic dill weed for garnish
• Dressing:
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 TBSP light agave nectar
• 2 organic garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1 TBSP organic dill weed, minced

Instructions:

• Whisk the dressing ingredients together until blended
• Put the tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and onion into a bowl
• Drizzle with the dressing
• Refrigerate for at least an hour (up to overnight) to let the flavors marinate
• Right before serving, toss with the crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle with the dill weed to garnish

Love,
