Greek Tomato Cucumber Salad

It's high season for tomatoes and cukes, and our garden is overflowing with both. This is a favorite way to use a lot at once. Use the most flavorful tomatoes you can get your hands on. I like to use a combination of different colors for the effect.

4 cups chopped cucumbers
4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup minced red onion

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss.

The amounts here are pretty arbitrary--you could easily increase or decrease the amount of veggies, and adjust the other ingredients accordingly.

For a different presentation, you could also slice the vegetables and arrange them on a platter, then sprinkle the other ingredients over them.
