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!

2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 slices cucumber
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
2 lettuce leaves, thinly shredded
