Want that perfect light and refreshing summer side salad?
This cucumber salad is the perfect summer time side to fit any meal or that bbq picnic with friends and family. The cool refreshing cucumbers, accompanied by fresh green onions, an avocado, olive oil, and topped off with fresh feta cheese, mint and Greek olives is simply delightful.
Ingredients
● 1 large cucumber
● 1⁄2 advocado
● 1 onion(preferably fresh green onion)
• 1 cup (100 g) feta cheese
●. Olive oil
● Apple cider vinegar
●. Black olives
●. Mint
● Salt and pepper
●. Dill
Preparation
1. Peel the cucumber in zebra stripes long-ways.
2. Cut the cucumber in quarters. Be sure to not cut the cucumber too thin as we need to preserve it’s ‘crunchiness.’ Place the slices in a bowl.
3. Cut the green onion in pieces and add the desired amount to the cucumbers.
4. Add half an advocato cut in cube-like pieces.
5. Sprinkle the feta on top, as you let it fall into crumbly pieces from your hands.
6. Cut 5 leaves of fresh mint in small pieces, adding it with olives and a small shake of dried dill to the bowl.
7. Salt and pepper to taste.
8. Vinaigrette: the quantity of apple cider vinegar to olive oil should be a 1:4 ratio. This means less apple cider vinegar and 4X the amount of olive oil. The last step is to pour this on top of the salad. The quantity of vinaigrette depends the size of the cucumber. You can add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 4 tablespoons of oil oil for starters.
9. Gently mix the salad together.
10. The salad should be eaten within an hour or two, after this, the water leaves to cucumbers and it starts to turn mooshey. It’s best eaten as soon as it’s finished being prepared.
