Ingredients:

  • 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced (about 4 cups / 500g)
  • 4 ounces (115g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (30g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (45ml)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2g)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers. If using regular cucumbers, consider salting them lightly and letting them drain for 15 minutes to remove excess water.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese, and thinly sliced red onion.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good shake or whisk to emulsify.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. For best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Just before serving, stir in the chopped fresh dill. Serve immediately or chilled.
