Ingredients:
- 2 Large English Cucumbers (approx. 600g), sliced into half-moons
- 1 Pint Cherry or Grape Tomatoes (approx. 300g), halved
- 1/2 Medium Red Onion (approx. 70g), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic, minced into a paste
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (75g), crumbled
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Place sliced cucumbers in a colander over a bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Let sit for 15 minutes to drain excess moisture via osmosis.
- Soak sliced red onions in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove harsh sulfurous compounds, then drain.
- In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, black pepper, and honey until a stable emulsion is formed.
- Pat the drained cucumbers dry with a paper towel and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes, drained red onions, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley to the bowl.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure even coating. Serve immediately or chill.
