Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 medium cucumbers, diced Wash and peel before dicing.
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled Can substitute with crumbled goat cheese.
For the Vinaigrette
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed) Freshly squeezed provides better flavor.
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and peeling the cucumbers. Dice them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Crumble the feta cheese over the cucumbers. The creamy texture of the feta will blend beautifully with the crispness of the cucumbers.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Whisk them together until fully combined.
  4. Pour the vinaigrette over the cucumber and feta mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  5. Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste. Give it one last toss and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Enjoy your refreshing Cucumber Feta Salad with Lemon Greek Vinaigrette chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For best flavor, allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For optimal taste, consume within the first day and avoid freezing.
