Cucumber Tomato and Feta Salad

I am not a salad lover by any means.

Every time I go out with my girlfriends and we end up at a salad restaurant my soul just dies a little bit. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with salads. They are just boring. And please, don't give me the speech that salads aren't boring - because to me they are. Even if  you put a thousand different dressings and fruit combos in them, I'm still not going to be impressed.

I want to like salads. It's almost the same feeling of how I wish I liked science so I could have grown up to be a rich doctor. But facts are facts and I just don't (on both accounts). I like meat. If I were a dinosaur I would definitely be a T-Rex because all I want to do is eat meat. The fattier, the better (although I do try to not JUST eat bad for you fatty foods - it's just what I want).

Okay I lied - I'm totally an Omnomnomnivore

                                            

With that said - a few weeks ago I came across a salad recipe that I didn't hate! It was if the clouds parted, the sun beamed down on me, and God said "Let you eat healthy and like it!"And I did. I SO did.

So without further ado:
