Mediterranean Cucumber Salad

Recipe video above. One of my favourite Cucumber Salads. It's so refreshing, loaded with Mediterranean flavours - garlicky lemon dressing, fresh dill and mint, salty crumbled feta. Plus swap out options - I don't always have fresh herbs! Serve as a side or stuff into gyros. It's good enough for company and quick enough for dinner tonight! And I love how leftovers turn into semi-pickled cucumbers.:)

Ingredients

1 500g / 1 lb lebanese cucumbers (, ~3 medium, sliced in 3-4mm / 1/8" thick (us: persian cucumbers, mini cucumbers in the uk) - note 1)

1/4 Red onion (, finely sliced)

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill ((note 2 if you don't have))

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint ((note 2 if you don't have))

1/3 cup (50g) crumbled greek feta ((note 3))

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice ((substitute white or red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar))

3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 small garlic clove (, crushed using garlic press or finely grated using microplane)

1/4 heaped tsp cooking salt / kosher salt

1/8 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

Step 1
Dressing - Shake the ingredients in a jar until well combined (or whisk in a bowl). Set aside to let the flavours meld while you chop.
Step 2
Toss - Put the cucumbers, herbs, onion and most of the feta in a bowl (reserve a bit for topping). Add dressing and toss.
Step 3
Serve - Pour into a serving bowl. Top with remaining feta and serve straight away, though it keeps well for an hour, and I still enjoy it the next day (it becomes semi-pickled).
