Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., dill or parsley)
Instructions
- Wash your cucumbers. You can peel them if you like, but I love leaving the skin on for added color and texture.
- Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then slice them into half-moons.
- Sprinkle the sliced cucumbers with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing.
- Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk until well-combined.
- Pour the dressing over the chopped cucumbers and crumbled feta in a large bowl, and toss gently.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs over the salad and give it one last gentle toss.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Chill the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
