Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large cucumbers, peeled
- salt
2 tablespoon(s) salt
DRESSING
6 ounce(s) feta
1/4 cup(s) finely chopped scallion
2 tablespoon(s) lemon juice or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon(s) olive oil
- fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • If you want to reduce the salt content of the feta, cut it into chunks and soak in cold water for an hour.
  • Score the cucumbers with the tines of a fork, and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds - a grapefruit spoon or melon baller works well. Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt, and let them stand for about 1/2 hour.
  • Then rinse, pat dry, and slice the cucumbers into 1/2 inch chunks.
  • In a medium serving bowl, crush the feta with a fork and mix it with the scallions, lemon juice, oil, and pepper.
  • Combine the cucumber chunks with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the salad with the mint.
  • It can sit in the refrigerator before serving, but try not to hold it more than an hour or it will get watery.
