There is a potential link between eating a lot of tomatoes and reducing your risk of age-related diseases, including heart disease and cancer. While the studies aren’t conclusive, tomatoes—which are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, folate, potassium, and lycopene—may help promote vibrant health, including healthy eyes.
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cucumbers, peeled, halved, and sliced ½ inch thick
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
3 ounces feta cheese, diced
15 kalamata olives, pitted and quartered
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons freshly chopped oregano
Freshly ground black pepper
In a bowl, toss the ingredients gently to blend. Let them sit for 10 minutes before serving.
