Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is essential for a great-tasting salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
Use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this salad, as they have a mild flavor and thin skin.
Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to the salad. Use a good-quality feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a combination of sheep's and goat's milk.
Lemon verbena adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh lemon verbena, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried lemon verbena or 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest.
Use a good-quality olive oil. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

Conclusion:

This tomato, cucumber, and feta salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
