Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 0.5 small red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water.
Using a vegetable peeler, optionally peel the cucumbers if desired for texture variation.
Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and then into thin half-moon slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
Peel the red onion and cut it into very thin slices. You may want to soak the onion slices in water for a few minutes if you desire a milder flavor, then drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and red onion.
Add 100 grams of crumbled feta cheese into the bowl with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, gently tossing to coat all vegetables evenly.
Chop the fresh dill finely, and sprinkle it over the salad.
Toss the salad lightly to mix in the dill and ensure an even distribution of all ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing and keto-friendly cucumber salad with feta.
