Serve chilled and enjoy the burst of Mediterranean flavors!
For best results, use high-quality feta cheese, preferably imported Greek feta.
Kalamata olives offer a richer, more complex flavor than standard black olives.
Adjust the amount of red onion to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or green bell peppers to the salad.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh. While it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, the cucumbers may become slightly soft over time.
