Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. Set the slices aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
To the same small bowl, add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop the clove).
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the dressing mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients together until you achieve a creamy and well-combined dressing.
Pour the feta cheese dressing over the sliced cucumbers in the large mixing bowl.
Toss the cucumbers gently with the dressing, making sure each slice is evenly coated.
Transfer the dressed cucumbers to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of extra dill or crumbled feta, if desired.
Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 1 hour before serving for maximum freshness.
