This Greek flavor–inspired chilled salad is so incredibly fresh tasting! Make this for your friends on a hot day while dining on the deck. It’s not too heavy, not too light. And it’s so easy, you can prepare it the night before! For an extra layer of crunch and flavor, dice an English cucumber into this salad. The English cucumber has fewer and smaller seeds than a regular cucumber, which makes it easier to eat. You can find these in the produce section, wrapped in plastic to protect their delicate thin skin. Diced Kalamata olives would also be a welcomed addition to this dish.
