Summer Salad

This is the perfect summer salad! And surprise…it doesn’t even have lettuce. It’s super fresh, full of herbs, and packed with flavor.

Without further ado…

1 large cucumber

3 medium tomatoes

6 scallions

1 ripe avocado

1 yellow bell pepper

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

2 large garlic cloves (minced)

2 lemons freshly squeezed

1/2 cup EVO

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cut the cucumbers into quarters. Spread them on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let stand until you are done mixing everything else. Then rinse with running water to remove all the salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, scallions, avocado, bell pepper, parsley, mint, cilantro, and cucumber.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Pour dressing over the vegetables. Toss around to coat evenly.
Garnish with feta cheese.
