- 100 grams Feta Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin rings or half-moons. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and sprinkle it over the cucumbers and onions.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the mixture for a burst of fresh flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
