Tomato and Cucumber Salad with Capers

Method

  1. 1

    In a large bowl mix the tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, capers and fresh herbs. Stir gently.

  2. 2

    In a mason jar combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves salt and pepper. Seal the mason jar and shake the dressing until combined {or use a small bowl and whisk the dressing}.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Taste and adjust mint, salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Serve as a side dish alongside a meal or use as a main dish with grilled fish or salmon.

Notes

If you store your lentil salad in an airtight container in the fridge it should last between 4 to 5 days. Then when you are ready to eat the salad add additional dressing to freshen the salad. Ideally if you know you will have leftovers keep the dressing separate to prevent the salad from getting mushy.
