Best of Season
Substitute other vegetables as desired. If cherry tomatoes are not available, use coarsely chopped plum tomatoes instead. Or, substitute chopped red and/or green peppers for the cucumbers.
Using Unpeeled Cucumbers
When using unpeeled cucumbers, be sure to scrub them before chopping. If the cucumber has been heavily waxed, then peel it before chopping it.
Variation
To make this delicious pasta salad a hit with your kids, omit olives and onions. Prepare using your favorite pasta shape and substituting cubed KRAFT Cheddar Cheese for the feta cheese.
