A simple, refreshing Greek salad is a great go-to for those hot summer nights when you just don't feel like turning on the stove. The flavors of crisp cucumbers, tangy feta, and sweet tomatoes combine to make a light, healthy dish.

Serve alongside some orzo or grilled shrimp for a complete meal. See all salad recipes. Click here to see 6 Cool and Creative Ways to Use Cucumber.
