Greek Salad

Summer is all about dinner salads, keeping the kitchen cool, and enjoying the fresh produce! When I was home, my dad gave me a cucumber from his garden, yes, he's already picking zucchini, cucumbers, and broccoli! I'm a little bit behind.... anyway, cucumbers go best in a Greek salad in my mind, so I put my little twist on the traditional Greek salad. Enjoy!
