Cucumber and Feta Salad
Before the weekend, wanted to enter a quick blog post for this Greek inspired side dish. I made this for an office party yesterday and it was a nice addition to the grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. So if you have a picnic, family reunion or do any outdoor grilling add this cucumber-feta salad to the menu. You can add fresh homegrown tomatoes, diced red onions or shredded carrots to up the texture factor if desired. However you prepare the dish, it is sure to be a hit! Have a great weekend!
