Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad

Healthy Fact of the Day

Cucumbers are hydrating and low in calories, while bell peppers provide a boost of vitamin C. Swap feta for a dairy-free alternative for a vegan-friendly option.

This Cucumber Sweet Pepper Salad brings bright, refreshing flavors to your table with every crisp, colorful bite. Fresh cucumbers and vibrant bell peppers are tossed with tangy feta cheese in a simple lemon-oregano dressing that perfectly balances Mediterranean herbs with citrusy brightness. It’s the kind of light, satisfying salad that works as a refreshing side dish, appetizer, or even a light lunch on its own.

If you love fresh, vibrant salads, you’ll also enjoy our Blueberry Peach Feta Salad for another fruit and cheese combination with Mediterranean flair. For more crisp, refreshing dishes, try our Avocado Salsa Shrimp Salad or Caprese Stuffed Avocado—both deliver that same bright, clean flavor profile that’s perfect for warmer weather.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
