Creole Tomato and Cucumber Salad with Feta Dressing

Prep Time:

5 mins.

Yield:

4 servings

Tomatoes are always in season somewhere, but when rich, juicy Creole tomatoes are falling off the vine in Louisiana, salads really get an upgrade. This simple salad takes just a few minutes to prepare and makes a delicious, cooling side dish to accompany hot, spicy barbecue and grilled foods.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Blue Plate®️ Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese + extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint + extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill + extra for garnish
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 Creole tomatoes, cut into bite-size wedges
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced into half moons
  • Maldon salt (or other coarse, flaky sea salt) for serving

Directions

  1. Make Dressing: Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, feta, lemon juice, lemon zest, mint, dill and garlic in a medium bowl and stir to mix well.
  2. Arrange tomatoes and cucumbers on a platter, drizzle with the feta dressing, garnish with mint and dill and sprinkle with the coarse salt. Serve chilled.
