Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 English cucumber (the long dark green ones)
90 g feta cheese (1/2 packet here)
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)
240 g hummus (I used half the recipe of Moroccan Party Dip)
salt

Steps:

  • Wash your cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut each half again lengthwise and then cut into small pieces.
  • Place in a salad bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add dill weed.
  • Dice Feta finely or crumble over salad.
  • Now add the hummus (store bought or homemade). Mix well to coat everything.
  • If you like add other add-ins of your choice, such as whole chickpeas or olives.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chickpeas from a can or jar. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. Just add it to the salad dressing along with the olive oil and lemon juice.
  • For a more zesty salad, use a combination of red and white onions.
  • If you're watching your calories, you can use low-fat or non-fat feta cheese.
  • This salad is best served immediately or within a few hours of making it. The cucumbers will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
