Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad

This is one of my favorite salads, its quick, easy and D-liscious.

If you like balsamic vinegar this one is for you. The juice from the tomatoes mellows out the vinegar so it's not over powering. (I made a big mess with the vinegar all down my cabinets taking this picture)
Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad
3-4 Tomatoes
1 Italian cucumber (I prefer the Italian seedless, it's usually shrink wrapped and cost a little more but I like the flavor a lot more.)
One package of Feta (this time I just has the crumbled but it's better if you buy the solid and cut it up in cubes)
1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar (I never measure)
Large dice all the veggies and put in a bowl. Add the Feta. Pour over Balsamic Vinegar and stir together carefully so you don't break up the feta too much.
Serve immediately or refrigerate to blend the flavors.

Pasta Salad

This is the first thing I've cooked since being invited to share...
It's pretty simple:
Cooked pasta - drained and rinsed in cold water
Mayo/Miracle Whip depending on your preference
1 can of tuna
Cucumber ranch dressing (the key ingredient)
Lemon pepper

That's it. You can eat it right away but it's better if it's been in the refrigerator for a while to chill it and blend the flavors. If you do refrigerate it you may need to add a little more dressing if it gets too dry.
