Ingredients
  

2 large ripe tomatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 large cucumber, peeled and diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled into small chunks

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Optional: 1 ripe avocado, diced

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing your fresh produce. Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into uniform pieces, finely chop the red onion, and chop the parsley and mint leaves. If you opted for avocado, peel, pit, and carefully dice it now to avoid browning.

    In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped mint. If you are using avocado, gently fold it into the mixture at this time, taking care not to mash it.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary to suit your flavor preferences.

        Drizzle the dressing over the vegetable and feta mixture in the mixing bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the dressing coats everything evenly.

          Allow the bowl to rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This step boosts the flavor by letting the ingredients meld together beautifully.

            Serve the refreshing salad chilled or at room temperature. It can be plated in individual bowls, or for a visually pleasing presentation, serve it atop a bed of mixed greens or arugula for added texture.

              Enjoy your delightful and nutritious Tomato Feta Cucumber Bowl, perfect for a light meal or a side dish!
