Tomato, Cucumber And Feta Salad With Lemon Verbena

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• lettuce leaf (to line the platter) (optional)
• 1 pint grape tomatoes (yellow, orange, red, etc.) or 1 pint heirloom tomato (yellow, orange, red, etc.)
• 1 lemon cucumbers (your choice to peel) or 1 small cucumber, diced (your choice to peel)
• 4 ounces feta cheese, cubed
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (my addition)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• cracked black pepper
• 10 fresh lemon verbena leaves, cut into ribbons (not dried!)

Recipe

• 1 place the salad ingredients on a lettuce-lined platter and drizzle with the dressing.
• 2 garnish with the lemon verbena leaves.
• 3 tip: do not garnish the salad with the verbena leaves until just before serving. cut lemon verbena leaves wilt very quickly. keep cut verbena leaves fresh by placing them in a bowl of water until ready to garnish.
