  • Total Time: 10-15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • For the lemon vinaigrette:
    • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • Juice of 1 large lemon
    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing and thinly slicing the cucumbers. Use a vegetable slicer or a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master for uniform slices. Thinly slice the red onion and chop fresh dill.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Place the sliced cucumbers, red onions, and feta cheese in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Garnish with chopped dill.
  4. Refrigerate the salad for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra dill or freshly ground black pepper before serving.
  • Replace feta with goat cheese or vegan cheese for dairy-free or vegan versions.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or black olives for extra color and taste.
