    Absolutely delicious - a simple and tasty reminder of summer holidays. I squeeze lemon juice over before mixing to add an extra sharpness and generally don't bother deseeding the cu. Really good and a family favourite!

    At last! A recipe for a "Greek salad" that actually reflects a "Greek salad" as provided in Greece! Some 'other' foody sites incorrectly add things like New Potatoes, or Chick Peas! My only quibble is that, personally, I'd add more Olive Oil! I'd also not bother to de-seed the cucumber. When you've eaten the salad, dip chunks of fresh bread (chunks, not sliced!) into the mix of tomato juice and Olive Oil - wonderful.

    I made this the other night for some friends and it was a really fresh way to start the meal. It was so easy to prepare and really flavoursome. The only thing i did differantly was to chop the tomatos a few hours in advance and let them marinade in olive oil, basil and oregano, just to really accentuate the flavours of the herbs.

    Reminds me of BBQ at my mums, could never find a recipe that evencame close but this does it everytime! I always add a bit more feta. Also agree with Ray in not deseeding the cucumber.
