Steps:
- If you want to reduce the salt content of the feta, cut it into chunks and soak in cold water for an hour.
- Score the cucumbers with the tines of a fork, and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds - a grapefruit spoon or melon baller works well. Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt, and let them stand for about 1/2 hour.
- Then rinse, pat dry, and slice the cucumbers into 1/2 inch chunks.
- In a medium serving bowl, crush the feta with a fork and mix it with the scallions, lemon juice, oil, and pepper.
- Combine the cucumber chunks with the cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle the salad with the mint.
- It can sit in the refrigerator before serving, but try not to hold it more than an hour or it will get watery.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. If possible, use organic produce.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is the star of this salad, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. The cheese should be firm and crumbly, with a slightly salty flavor.
- Don't overdress the salad: This salad is best when it's lightly dressed. A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of garlic is all you need.
- Let the salad rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cheese to soften slightly.
Conclusion:
Egyptian Feta Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different types of feta cheese, herbs, and vegetables to create a salad that you'll love.
