Fresh ingredients and easy preparation make this salad–with its contrasting textures and flavors–a perennial summer favorite. Tomatoes, cucumber, and feta marry beautifully with fresh herbs and a few garden surprises to create great taste and healthy nourishment.
Add wholegrain bread and you have a quick, delicious, and economical lunch. Those Mediterranean peasants really know how to live!

That's not exactly a peasant salad. You need tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell peppers, onions, olives, parsley, feta cheese, oregano, salt and a bit of olive oil and vinegar. I don't know where the other ingredients come from. :P
Thank you
What an amazing recipe, will definitely be making this one, thanks so much..
Thanks.
Thanks for the article.
Use the dressing sparingly and eat quickly after applying the dressing. Otherwise, it gets soggy in a hurry. It still tastes great, though.
