Summer salad flavored with lemon verbena

tomato, cucumber, feta and lemon verbena salad
On a whim I threw a little salad together tonight that turned out to be one of the best things I've made lately. it was almost all ingredients I picked up yesterday at a local Farmers' Market. It was half a pint of orange cherry tomatoes sliced in half, three blondie cucumbers (like Kirbys, only yellow instead of green) peeled and chunked, four ounces of cubed feta and ten shredded lemon verbena leaves. I drizzled a little olive oil on top of it and gave it a good shower of ground pepper.

The lemon verbena tastes like both green freshness and lemon zest. It's not an herb that you find in every market, but if you can get your hands on it, it is well worth the price and search.

I used tomatoes, cukes, feta, olive oil, salt and pepper, and from my garden some fresh lemon verbana, basil, and oregano. I agree it was mighty tasty, and lemon verbana is a great herb. -JMF-
