I’m just going to come right out of the gate and say that I’m not a big fan of Feta Cheese. This recipe is here because it was requested that I make it. So, I did!
I think it’s very pretty, very healthy, full of colors and nutrients. I have some friends that grow sprouts and supply local restaurants. They brought over some lovely sunflower sprouts for me, on that day. (Side note: sprouts are awesome foodstuffs. Tasty, varied, full of nutrients and one of the only things people eat, while it’s still alive!)
I tasted the salad and … it was yummy! If there were ever a way to sneak some Feta cheese into my life, this salad would probably be the best vehicle for it.
I still don’t like Feta, though …
I like cheese. I like pickles. Picked cheese is … blech.
Don’t let my odd bird tastes sway you, though. It’s a good salad. Enjoy the salad!


Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh assorted tomatoes cut into thin slices or wedges
- 1 each english cucumber seeded and cut into small cubes

Instructions
