Cucumber Tomato Greek Salad

I wanted to serve a traditional Greek salad along with the turkey burgers that foodlove brought you last week!  Although quite simple, this is pretty close to an authentic Greek salad.  I did forgo the red onion which is typically paired with these salad ingredients.  Feel free to add that back in if you want!

Servings: 6
Serving Size: 3/4 cup
Points Plus: 2pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: n/a

Ingredients:
3 medium tomatoes, diced
2 1/2 large cucumbers, diced
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions:
Wash and prep your veggies.  Slice the cucmbers into thick (1/4 inch) slices and then quarter each slice.  Dice the tomatoes and remove the seeds.  Add the veggies to a large serving bowl.  Toss the salad in olive oil and dried oregano, stirring until well combined.  Top with 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese.

Tip:
Although it's kind of a pain, I would recommend removing as many seeds as you can from the tomatoes and even the cucumbers.  This will really help to eliminate the salad from getting watery.  This is especially important if you think you will have leftovers because it will help keep the salad more crisp in the fridge!
