This is one of our go-tos for a quick, easy and healthy meal. We like pairing this with small veal meatballs, but it can be served on its own as a main. Serves 2-4 people.
Ingredients:
- 2 healthy stems of ripe, cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 English cucumber, with skin, cut in 3cm pieces
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 100 g good quality crumbled Greek Feta cheese (I find many in the States to be a bit salty, so experiment)
- 150 g olives, sliced in half or quartered (I prefer Spanish olives with anchovies, but can choose other varieties to keep vegetarian)
- healthy handful of mint leaves, chopped roughly
- 3 sprigs of thyme, picked
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brine from olives
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
