Tomato, cucumber and feta salad

Staci recommended this food blog a while ago and I'm finding that I am enjoying it immensely! Check out A Hint of Honey and see what you think for yourself. This salad, (my first of 2010 but who's counting?) is fresh, tasty and colorful, everything a salad should be. And a quick note, if you are fresh out of turbinado sugar (also called organic sugar, also goes by the brand name "sugar in the raw") feel free to use plain ol' white sugar like I did. It was still great!


INGREDIENTS
pint of grape or cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
1 cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded, and diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. turbinado sugar
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 tsp. sea salt (to taste)

DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, feta, and oregano.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Drizzle dressing over salad (you might not need the full amount of the dressing- just use enough to coat). Toss salad to coat evenly with dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serves 4.
