This is a modified Greek salad, one I tend to make pretty much nightly during the summer, when I always have these ingredients on hand.

Three large farmers market were quite enough. I used a good old farmers market cucumber, peeled and seeded, a tablespoon each of chopped mint and oregano from the garden, and sherry vinegar. Delicious.

I was able to complete this recipe in 2 minutes using my sword to cut the cucumber and tomatoes at the same time.
