Crafting Cucumber Feta Salad is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and parsley. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
2. Chop the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and set aside. You can soak them in cold water for a few minutes if you prefer a milder flavor.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and red onion.
4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle with chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. If using, add dried oregano or dill for an extra flavor kick.
5. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar until well combined.
6. Combine Dressing and Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine everything evenly.
7. Chill: For optimal taste, cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving. This step helps blend the flavors.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Before serving, taste the salad and adjust seasoning as necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar according to your liking.
