Summer Recipe: Refreshing Cucumber Salad

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share with you a simple yet delicious recipe for a refreshing cucumber salad. With the summer heat upon us, this dish is the perfect way to cool down and enjoy the season’s best produce. Let’s dive right in!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To prepare this refreshing salad, start by combining the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and torn mint leaves in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and give it one final toss to incorporate all the flavors.

This salad is best served chilled, so pop it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. The crispness of the cucumbers, the tanginess of the lemon juice, and the creaminess of the feta cheese make for a perfect summer dish that is both light and satisfying.

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Once prepared, the total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with around 4 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 120 per serving.

One unique tip for this cucumber salad is to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick of heat. It adds a little extra dimension to the dish that will surprise and delight your taste buds.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this refreshing cucumber salad as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or cheeses to make it your own. Happy cooking!
