My awesome neighbour truly has a green thumb! She has a large greenhouse in her backyard and grows all kinds of organic and heirloom crops from all around the world. Yesterday, she brought me those bright and sweet cherry tomatoes and I just had to make something simple and delicious with those!

Seriously, looks at those tiny tomatoes that have such a bright pop of colour! I looked in my fridge and pantry and I had a few ingredients on hand to make a quick greek style salad. It is really simple and such a great salad to serve as an appetizer or side dish for a dinner party.

You simply combine colourful cherry tomatoes with cucumber and black or kalamata olives. Then you sprinkle with feta cheese, a few herbs, good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar and you are in business! Enjoy!
