This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover cucumber and tomatoes, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese, but I still enjoyed this salad. The other ingredients are so flavorful that the feta cheese doesn't overpower the dish.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and healthy fats.

I love the addition of the red onion in this salad. It adds a nice sharpness that balances out the sweetness of the tomatoes and cucumbers.

This salad is a great way to use up all the fresh vegetables from the garden. It's also a great make-ahead dish - just assemble the salad and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

This Shopska salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish! The combination of crunchy cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and creamy feta cheese is a perfect balance of flavors. I also love the addition of dill, which gives the salad a nice herby flavor.
