Traditional Bulgarian Salad

The perfect summertime salad. The refreshing cucumber and juicy tomatoes make this recipe pop with colors. This salad not only looks good, but it also tastes good. Enjoy at any time of the year, but it is especially vibrant and revitalizing in the summer. The feta cheese in this recipe makes all the ingredients come-together in our opinion, but replace with any other cheese if you desire as well. Option to also add in yellow bell peppers for more sweetness and flavor.
