Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large cucumbers, peeled
salt
2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint
6 ounces feta
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
2 tablespoons lemon juice or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
fresh ground black pepper

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.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon juice next time.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so refreshing and flavorful, and the dressing is to die for.

The salad was easy to make and packed with flavor. The dressing was especially delicious, with the perfect balance of tanginess and creaminess. I'll definitely be making this salad again!

This Egyptian feta salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of fresh vegetables, creamy feta, and tangy dressing was simply irresistible. I especially loved the crunch of the cucumber and the sweetness of the tomatoes. Definitely a keeper rec
