Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, diced

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them into a large mixing bowl.

    Chop the Aromatics: Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers.

      Add Fresh Herbs: Rinse the mint leaves under cold water, pat them dry, and chop them roughly. Toss the chopped mint into the salad mixture.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

          Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad mix. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly in the dressing.

            Cheese it Up: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for added flavor and creaminess.

              Chill and Serve: For optimal flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
