Ingredients

• 200 grams paleo feta cheese
• 300 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 small red onion
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 10 grams fresh basil leaves
• 5 grams fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. If they are particularly large, you might want to quarter them instead.

Step 2

Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise. Remove the seeds using a small spoon, then cut the cucumber into thin half-moon slices.

Step 3

Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into small rings or half-moons.

Step 4

Place the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a large salad bowl.

Step 5

Dice the paleo feta cheese into small cubes, about 1-centimeter pieces, and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 6

Chop the fresh basil leaves and parsley finely, then sprinkle them over the vegetables and feta in the bowl.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice until well combined. You can adjust the seasoning with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly without breaking the feta pieces.

Step 9

Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

For best results, let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve the salad as a side dish with your favorite paleo-friendly main course or enjoy it on its own.
