To make the salad begin by preparing all of the ingredients. Start with your cucumber, and cut the cucumber into slices. Remove any seeds from the cucumber slices. Add cucumber pieces to your mixing bowl.
Next, thinly slice your red onion, and cut your cherry tomatoes into halves. Add each of these to your mixing bowl.
Take your feta cheese and cut it into bite-size cubes before adding it into your mixing bowl.
Finally, if you are including olives, make sure that they are rinsed, and sliced if desired before adding them to your salad.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the ingredients until combined.
Drizzle the salad dressing over your salad. Stir until your salad is coded in the dressing. Top with fresh basil and mint if desired. Two, covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Then serve and enjoy.
