  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by thoroughly washing the cucumbers and red onion. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to create thin, even slices of cucumbers and onions. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. This dressing will give your Crisp Cucumber Salad its signature tangy flavor.
  3. Pour the dressing over the sliced vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly. Add in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and parsley, then mix carefully to ensure the flavors meld nicely without breaking the feta.
  4. Cover the salad and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop and the salad to stay refreshingly crisp. Serve chilled as a side dish or light lunch.

Notes

  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain crispness, consider adding a splash of olive oil or vinegar before serving. Stir lightly as feta may release moisture.
