Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 long English cucumber, sliced into half moons (roughly 4 cups)
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Gently toss these ingredients together to distribute them evenly.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified and flavorful.
  3. Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Using a spoon, gently mix everything to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the dressing without mashing the avocado.
  4. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use a ripe but firm avocado to avoid a mushy texture.
  • Feel free to add additional herbs such as mint or basil for a different flavor profile.
  • This salad is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; avocado may brown slightly over time.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese or omit it altogether.
  • Adjust salt amount depending on the saltiness of the feta cheese used.
