Ingredients

    4 large ripe tomatoes, cored and diced
    1 hothouse cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced into half moon shapes.
    1/4 cup plain non-fat yogurt, drained in fine sieve about 30 minutes (discard liquid), or 2 to 2.5 tbsps. non-fat Greek yogurt
    1 tbsp. EVOO
    1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
    1 small garlic clove, minced
    1 tsp. ground cumin
    3 small scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
    1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano leaves
    3 oz. feta cheese

Directions

Toss tomatoes with salt in a large bowl, and let sit 15 minutes until a pool of liquid accumulates. Salt cucumber in a colander and let sit 15 to 30 minutes (depending upon how much time you have), then gently squeeze out excess water.

Meanwhile, whisk drained yogurt or Greek yogurt with the EVOO, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, scallions, oregano, and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Add drained tomatoes and cucumbers and toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes to blend flavors. Crumble in feta toss to combine, adjust seasonings, and serve immediately. This is best freshly made, not as good the next day.
