Hello new favorite salad... this is QUICK... and when I say quick, I am talking... 5 minutes tops! It's so simple and SO STINKIN' good! What a great combination of flavors and so refreshing and cool for a hot summer day! I didn't measure anything because you use what you have and you make it according to your taste bud's preferences, but here's what you mix together...
Ingredients:
Persian or Armenian Cucumbers, halved and sliced
some red onion, thinly sliced
a handful of mint leaves, finely chopped
a sprinkling of feta cheese
a splash of red wine vinegar
a drizzle of olive oil
s & p
Directions:
Wash, slice and chop your cucumber, thinly slice your onion, add your s & p and your oil & vinegar. Then cover & refrigerate until serving. Right before you serve it, toss it and add your feta and mint, toss once more and eat the whole bowl.... it's SOOOOOOOOO good!
PICTURED: I used Armenian cucumbers, they are light in color, therefore in the photo they are not peeled, I left the skin on them, and they are delicious- not bitter at all! If you can't find those, my second choice would be the Persians, and if not those then the Hothouse cucumbers.
Okay, so I have to say - I made this last night and it's possibly one of the best things ever. I found some armenian cucumbers on sale at the store (for 1.69/lb) And just figured, "what the hell" and got everything for it
ReplyDeleteSeriously, so good. I brought some to lunch and made it clear to my boyfriend and roommates that the salad was off limits.
I'm already plotting to make more this weekend - I have found my new favorite salad.
Thanks!
Made this last night for a party and it was a big hit. Thanks for the idea.
