I found this recipe ( and modified it a bit) while trying to use up alot of Cucumbers and Tomatoes! Very Good!
Tomato & Cucumber Salad
1/2 C extra virgin olive oil
2 T balsamic vinegar
2 T red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
10 fresh basil leaves
5 fresh oregano leaves
3 cucumbers
2-3 tomatoes
1/2 C Olives
1/4 C Feta Cheese

2 T red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
10 fresh basil leaves
5 fresh oregano leaves
3 cucumbers
2-3 tomatoes
1/2 C Olives
1/4 C Feta Cheese
Mince or press garlic through a garlic press. Let stand in both vinegars while preparing the other ingredients Chop basil and oregano leaves and add to olive oil and allow to stand in oil while garlic marinates.Meanwhile, prepare salad ingredients. Wash cucumbers and tomatoes. Peel cucumbers, leaving a scant amount of peel (helps with digestion). Slice cucumbers into 1/4 inch coins (circles).
Slice tomatoes into wedges, being careful not to crush and lose juice. Place tomatoes, olives and cucumbers in salad bowl and sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt.
Whisk dressing well and pour over vegetables
