Easy Local Tomato Salad

Here is an easy salad anyone can make after taking a quick trip to their local farm stand. There is nothing better than fresh tomatoes when they are in season. And for those of us who live in New England, that season is right now!

Ingredients:

- Red tomatoes (heirloom or Burgundy wine)
- Yellow cherry tomatoes
- Fresh cucumber
- Feta cheese
- Fresh oregano
- Extra virgin olive oil - the good stuff!

Preparation:

Quarter the red tomatoes and halve the yellow tomsatoes. Slice your cucumber into 1/4" slices and then align them around an appropriate plate. See my picture for a demonstration. Leave a gap in the center for your feta cheese, drizzle with olive oil, and lastly sprinkle with fresh oregano. You can also add some good balsamic if you like.

Enjoy!
