I added Kalamata olives. I especially love the cumin. This will be a summer staple. Super easy and tasty!
I made this alongside Trader Joe's flat bread, gyro meat, and tzaziki, and it was a great fresh side to an otherwise quick and dirty meal. Love it! Will definitely make again. The cumin really adds something wonderful.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are one of the best veg. combinations. In summer when I have both from our garden we practically live on tom and cuke sandwiches.
Left out dill since there was none - and it was still pretty darned great. I used org heirloom cherry tomatoes - larger ones cut in quarters
Simple and delicious.
