French Summer Feta Salad
By Heidi Allison
This summer salad couldn't be easier to prepare—just slice 3 veggies and chop 2 herbs; then squeeze fresh citrus juices, drizzle a bit of oil, toss—then plate. Top with a creamy French feta and serve—that’s it! You can get this salad to the table in under 5 minutes: start-to-finish!
To create your clever “dressing”, simply squeeze the fresh lemon and lime juices on top of veggies and herbs, drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle a bit of kosher flake salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper; toss and you’re done.
This summer salad is not only easy, it also showcases the best of summer flavors—vine-ripe tomatoes, sweet Persian cucumbers and mild red onions, and refreshing mint.
