Cucumber and Feta Salad

Ingredients

1 large cucumber (peeled, seeded and diced into pea-sized pieces)

coarse salt

8 ounces (225g) feta cheese

1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil

2-3 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon water

freshly-ground black pepper

1 small red onion (peeled and finely-diced)

1 tablespoon (each) chopped fresh mint, parsley and fresh dill

Directions

Place the cucumber pieces in a colander, mix with a light sprinkling salt, and let drain 30 minutes to an hour, shaking the colander from time to time.

Crumble the feta into a bowl and mash together with the olive oil, lemon juice, water, and a few turns of black pepper.

Mix in the cucumbers, onions, and herbs. Taste, and add more salt if desired.
