Simple Tomato and Cucumber Salad (Gluten-Free)

This fast and delightfully fresh salad is a staple in my kitchen throughout the year, but particularly during the summer months I know affectionately as "tomato-heaven." You can mix it up by using cherry or plum tomatoes, or whatever tomatoes rate handy. The dressing offers a nice balance of tart and sweet; it’s a good one to keep on hand. Feel free to omit the chili flakes if you’re not a fan, or even substitute with a little dill.

Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes
1 large cucumber
2 bell peppers, red or yellow
1 red onion
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup red whine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
