Ingredients
Scale
- 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture.
- Step 4: Add the chopped fresh dill and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
- Step 5: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- To prevent the cucumbers from getting soggy, drain any excess liquid before serving if the salad has been refrigerated for longer than an hour.
- This salad is best served cold; reheating is not recommended as it will wilt the cucumbers and affect the fresh flavor.
- Serve this refreshing salad as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the red onion in the red wine vinegar for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.
