So simple, so good! didn't change a thing about the recipe except to add a few red capsicum peppers as suggested. Will be fixing this often. Thanks for such a refreshing little salad.

Really simple and good. Just don't forget to peel the cucumbers like I did. Also I did use dried parsley, but put it in with the liquids to rehydrate several hours before blending with veggies.

This is not the sort of dish I usually go for, but I absolutely loved it as did my SO. I made it a day in advance and it kept very well in the fridge. I used 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, 2 medium Lebanese cucumbers, 1 red capsicum (pepper), 1 small/med red onion, Danish feta and everything else as listed. Thanks for a fantastic recipe I will make again!
