Cucumber Mint Salad
Quick, easy, refreshing, delicious-need I say more?! Perfect side for any light meal, and a great dish to pass for those summer gatherings in a rush, but not compromising on flavor!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Kitchen knife
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 squeezed Fresh Lemon Juice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 stalks Fresh Mint
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1/4 sliced Red Onion
- 1/4 cup Crumbled Feta
Instructions
- So simple! Squeeze the lemon juice into a large bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Slice cucumber, using spoon to remove seeds by scraping down the middle. Toss into dressing mixture.
- Slice red onion thinly and add to bowl. Toss ingredients together and let sit for a few minutes. This step could be done ahead of time, as it's nice to give the cucumbers time to soak in the dressing.
- Add in sliced mint and crumbled feta, reserving a small amount for garnish. Enjoy!!Variations: this is such a simple salad but a great base for many options! The lemon and mint give balsamic and basil a break, and open up for a lighter version of the classic salad. Fresh tomatoes, sliced strawberries, or spring greens would add a great addition!
