A light and fresh vegetarian salad that's the perfect side dish!
Today I want to continue on that journey. I found a fabulous book you guys! It is vegetarian, but not only for those who eat that type of diet. The dishes in this dish are for everyone! The food is simple, fresh, and seasonal. The illustrations are so beautiful! Plus, the recipes are straight forward and easy to make. This book is a winner. From the cookbook, "The Forest Feast Gatherings" by Erin Gleeson I want to share another vegetarian salad with you.
FETA CHOPPED SALAD
A wonderful Mediterranean inspired salad bursting with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes and a soft mild feta cheese and dressed lightly with lemon and olive oil. Delish!!! This is a bright and fresh salad that gets a little zip from fresh mint as well. What a great flavor punch. You are sure to love this salad as much as we did. In fact, I've made it several time since and let me tell you, it doesn't last long!
This salad is very easy to make. The most effort is in chopping all the vegetables. Once that is done you just toss is all together and lightly dress it. Voila! You'll have the perfect salad. It can be made ahead as well, just don't add the cheese or dress it until you serve the salad.
Enjoy!

2 large tomatoes, cubed
1/2 small red onion, cubed

Vegetables can be chopped several hours in advance & refrigerated (onion & cucumber can be done the day before). Add feta and dressing just before packing for a picnic or before serving.
