Raw Vegetable Salad with Feta

I am trying to eat my vegetables raw at the moment (losing some weight, trying to eat more healthy, running and such). So this is a salad which I make for myself for lunch at work to accomplish this.

It takes about 10 mins to do all the slicing and dicing. And maybe 5 more for cleaning and packing.

Occasionally I add to it raw corn, onions, spinach, lettuce to vary things up, but cucumbers, tomatoes, mini peppers and avocado are always present.

Ingredients:

  • 4 baby cucumbers
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 avocado
  • 7-9 sweet mini bell peppers or 1 big one
  • 3oz of crumbled feta
  • Olive oil to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
