This Cucumber Tomato Feta Salad has simple ingredients that are a winning combination – so refreshing and flavorful! We can’t get enough of our garden cucumbers and tomatoes so we have been experimenting with all different flavors and cheeses and this is a new favorite.

The feta cheese gives this salad satisfying Greek Salad flavor and adds the salty notes so you hardly have to add any salt (or you can skip the salt altogether). When you add salt to cucumbers and tomatoes, they start to get juicy and soft so less salt means the salad will stay crisp longer.

There’s a surprising ingredient in the dressing that takes this salad to a whole new level!

    Hi Natasha
    I have been making a similar salad for years from the South Beach Diet cookbook. Instead of cumin I use oregano and no garlic. I look forward to trying yours with the cumin and garlic. Love your recipes!

    Hello Natasha, if I cut the ingredients and put together without the dressing the night before, would they still be fresh the next day? Thank you!

      Hi Alina, that should still work fine although it is best to cut and serve tomatoes fresh without refrigerating the tomatoes.

    Hi Natasha, tonight I made this salad for dinner, my family and me loved it!! Soooo good. I don’t take pictures because I always forget my camera, and I don’t have those new phones, I am old fashioned, I have a Nokia cell phone from the 90’s, jejejej!! Thank you again, I’ve made lots of your recipes and they are all wonderful! I’ve been telling all my friends about your recipes, and now they also are making your recipes. And I also bought the cast iron pan you use!!!! Many Blessings for you and your beautiful family!!

      Hi Carlos, I completely forgot to add it to the instructions for the dressing. It goes into the dressing for the salad. I’m so glad you loved the recipe! 🙂

    I have been making this for years. I add kalamata olives and extra oregano and let it marinate a bit before serving. We love it and it is a way to eat up cucumbers and tomatoes when they start ripening and we end up with so much extra.

    Since I prefer home made food at work this is so great and refreshing idea ! I can add cucumbers a minute before my lunch. Street markets are full of beautiful vegetables now and it takes only minutes to do it ! Thank you very much and enjoy your day !
