Sure sounds like summer—but this cucumber tomato feta salad is a go-to for me all year long. Refreshing and colorful, I make this for a light lunch, and an easy side dish, or to throw in the cooler when we head to the lake. It’s a great summer salad with tons of fresh flavor!
Cucumbers, tomatoes, feta! Oh my. This salad is as simple and delicious as it gets. This is going to taste sensational during the summer months when all the produce is fresh off the vine.
The beauty of relying on grape or cherry tomatoes is that I can make this salad in cooler months, and it will taste every bit as delicious.

HOW TO STORE AND MAKE AHEAD

You’ll want to keep it in an airtight container to protect the integrity of the ingredients. Take note that the dressing and the salad should be stored separately.
- Can You Freeze This? No, salads don’t freeze well.
- Make-Ahead Tips: You can make the entire salad a day or so ahead, or you can whip up the tangy vinaigrette and add it to the veggies a couple of hours before serving. When making ahead don’t pour dressing on the salad. Store it separately.
