Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 English cucumbers
1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoon Fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 Shallot, minced
2 Lemons, juice and zest
1/4 cup Olive oil

Steps:

Slice cucumbers as thinly as you can. A mandoline or vegetable slicer will make quick work of it. Toss together the cucumbers and a large pinch of salt in a mesh strainer set over a bowl.
Combine the feta, oregano, garlic and shallots in a separate bowl. Add the lemon juice and zest and whisk in the olive oil.
Drain off and discard any water that has released from the cucumbers.
Toss together the cucumbers and the dressing.

Tips

Choose ripe, firm cucumbers for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but use about half the amount.
To make the yogurt sauce, use full-fat yogurt for the best flavor and texture.
If you're using a food processor to make the yogurt sauce, be sure to pulse it only until the sauce is smooth. Over-processing will make the sauce too thin.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion

Feta and cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or with a variety of toppings, this salad is sure to please.
