Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers cut into slices
  • 3 Campari tomatoes cut into small wedges
  • ⅓ cup red onion diced or thinly sliced
  • 4-5 tablespoon light balsamic vinagrette Ken's Steakhouse highly recommended
  • ⅓ cup Crumbled Feta cheese optional, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Slice cucumbers into thin circles. Slice the tomatoes into wedges and finely chop the onion. Add these ingredients to a mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle on the dressing. Start by adding 4 tablespoons and mix. If needed, add one additional tablespoon of dressing at a time to ensure even coating without oversaturating the salad. Toss to coat.
  • Feta pairs very well with this salad. Sprinkle your desired amount on top just before serving. You may also choose to add a dash of ground pepper for added flavor as well.

Notes

To keep your English cucumber salad from becoming too watery, ensure you use an English (hothouse) cucumber since they have fewer seeds. If you are making this dish ahead of time, wait to add the crumbled feta until right before you serve it to maintain that perfect, creamy texture.
Keep in mind that sometimes less is more when adding the dressing. Using too much from the start will make the salad too saturated and potentially bitter (remember that it's already naturally juicy from the cucumbers and tomatoes). Start with your desired amount. You can always add more to suit your taste.
Leftovers will keep 2-3 days. Keep refrigerated.
