- Directions: The FINAL PART 1. Add in large serving bowl, all the "Part One" ingredients, cucumbers last. 2. In a side bowl or the feta container, mix together all "Part Two" ingredients. 3. Pour over the salad, cover and chill. You can serve immediately but if you wait a few hours it is much better. Stir the oil from the bottom to the top every so often while chilling. NOTE: It is even better the next day. 4. cover while storing, otherwise your refrigerator will remember for a few days what your made! Use olive oil that is Extra Virgin and has not been open for more than a few weeks. Better get a fresh bottle -- It is worth it -- .
