Ingredients:

  • 1 large English cucumber, diced (approx. 300g)
  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup (75g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 6 oz (170g) feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
  • ½ cup (100g) Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5ml) dried oregano
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Dice the cucumber into ½-inch cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until the mixture is emulsified and slightly thickened.
  3. Combine the diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, sliced onion, and chopped parsley in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly. Toss for about 30 seconds until the oil glazes the cucumber skins.
  5. Fold in the feta cheese and Kalamata olives last to maintain the shape of the cheese cubes.
