Preparation

What You Need

2 stalks celery, thickly sliced on the diagonal
1/4 English cucumber, quartered lengthwise and cut into chunks
1 cup (250 ml) cubes Canadian Mozzarella cheese or
crumbled Canadian Feta cheese
1/2 cup (125 ml) baby carrots, thinly sliced
3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
3 tbsp (45 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried oregano
1 tsp (5 ml) chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup (250 ml) grape tomatoes or
cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

In a shallow bowl or container, combine celery, cucumber, cheese, carrots, oil, lemon juice, oregano, fresh basil salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or for up to 2 days.

Just before serving, stir in tomatoes and check seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste.


Tips

Tomatoes should never be refrigerated so adding them to the salad just before serving preserves their flavour and texture.

Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) black or green olives with the vegetables, if desired.
