Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized cucumbers or 2 large English cucumbers about 4½ cups when chopped
Feta Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard coarse ground
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon dried basil
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Peel the cucumbers with a vegetable peeler. Run a fork down the flesh of the cucumber to create ridges in it. (This is a trick my dad uses to help the cukes soak up some of the dressing.)
- Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, then transfer to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
- In a mason jar, combine the ingredients for the Feta Vinaigrette. Once all measured in, place the lid on the mason jar, and shake vigorously until combined. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Pour the vinaigrette on top of the cucumbers, then toss with a spoon to ensure all the cucumbers are coated, and serve.
Notes
If you're making this (well) in advance, store the cucumbers and dressing separate until it's time for serving. However, the ingredients can all be mixed together 2-3 hours beforehand to really soak in the flavors.
