What is Cucumber Feta Salad?
Cucumber feta salad is a fresh, delicious and crisp salad that has three parts.

- Dressing: just a simple olive oil, lemon juice and dill dressing makes this recipe so good!
- Cheese: Feta cheese provides just the right amount of bite to this salad.
How to Make Cucumber Feta Salad
This fresh summer salad could not be easier to make!
- Prepare cucumber ribbons and arrange in a bowl.
- Whisk together dressing ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Assemble the ribbons and dressing for about 15 minutes. Add the feta just before serving.
Tips To Keep Cucumber Salad Fresh
When slicing cucumber ribbons, stop once you reach the seeds. This is where a lot of extra moisture is stored.
Drain the cucumber ribbons in a colander or gently pat them with paper towels to absorb some of the extra moisture.
Keep all ingredients separate until just before serving. The cucumber ribbons and dressing can be combined about 15 minutes ahead of time.
Feta cheese should only be added right before serving. The high salt content in the feta cheese will make the cucumber ribbons become soft and watery.
Get inspired with this summer’s seasonal vegetables. Add tomato to create a hearty cucumber tomato feta salad. Or go for a greek theme and substitute fresh oregano for the dill, add ripe olives, tomatoes and red onion to create the perfect greek salad. The possibilities are endless!

Thank you Mary!
I chopped the cucumber and I didn’t have a fresh lemon, so I added balsamic vinegar instead. It turned out great and gonna serve it tonite with fresh baked cod and mashed potatoes.
