Ingredients

Dressing 

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 3 garlic cloves, grated
• pinch of kosher salt
• pinch of black pepper

Salad

• 3 ripe tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces (heirloom tomatoes are best)
• 6 Persian or English cucumbers, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• 8 ounces feta, cubed
• 1/2 cup parsley leaves
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 6 basil leaves, cut or torn

Recipe Notes

• I really like using Persian or English cucumbers for this fresh and healthy recipe, as they are usually a bit crisper than a traditional cucumbers. But as always, use what you have available!

• If you don't like feta cheese, try fresh mozzarella balls or goat cheese instead.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar and mixing or shaking well.
   
2. Prep the salad by placing tomatoes, cucumbers and feta in a large salad bowl or platter.
   
3. Shake or mix the dressing and drizzle a few tablespoons of it on the salad. Season with salt and black pepper, and then top with the chopped herbs and more dressing.
