Made this for supper. Used the vegetables exactly as stated but used purchased Greek Dressing as I thought the dressing ingredients sounded Greeky. Very good.

I just made this and it is fantastic! I used Persian cucumbers and grape tomatoes. The made half the dressing and used half red wine vinegar and half apple vinegar (I ran out). Reminds me of a tomato cucumber salad I used to have when I lived in Israel. Thanks for the great simple recipe!
