This salad is very tasty and healthy too. I used 2 cucumbers and doubled the feta and dressing, served it with a crusty loaf of sour dough bread and that was dinner. Enjoy!

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Arrange the tomatoes artfully on a platter. Top with red onion, cucumber, feta, basil, and olives. Mix the mashed garlic with the vinegar in a small bowl then whisk in the olive oil.
