Ingredients

• 2 large English cucumbers
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 small red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
• 3 tablespoons Spearmint Infused Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese optional

Equipment

• 1 Large mixing bowl For tossing the salad
• 1 Small bowl For whisking the dressing
• 1 Sharp knife For slicing cucumbers and onion
• 1 Cutting board For prep work
• 1 whisk For emulsifying the dressing

Method

 

Instructions

1. Peel the cucumbers in alternating strips if desired, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons and place them in a medium bowl.
2. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
3. Slice the red onion very thinly and add just enough for a sharp, fresh bite.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the Spearmint Infused Olive Oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper until combined.
5. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently so everything is lightly coated.
6. Fold in the dill and parsley, then let the salad sit for 5 minutes so the flavors settle together.
7. Top with crumbled feta if you want, then serve chilled or at cool room temperature.

Notes

This salad is at its best when the vegetables are cold and the dressing is added just before serving. For a stronger spearmint note, add an extra teaspoon of Spearmint Infused Olive Oil at the end. If the cucumbers are very watery, salt them lightly and drain for 5 minutes before dressing.

Recipe Tips

Slice the cucumbers as evenly as you can so the dressing coats every piece. If you want a little extra crunch, chill the sliced cucumbers for 10 minutes, then pat them dry before tossing.

For the cleanest flavor, add the dressing right before serving so the vegetables stay crisp and lively.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this salad alongside grilled fish, roasted chicken, tomato pie, or a mezze-style spread with hummus and warm pita. It also works well as a bright lunch side on a hot day.

Storage

This salad is best enjoyed the day it is made. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and stir before serving. The cucumbers will soften as they sit, so the texture is freshest early on.

Variations

Add crumbled feta for a saltier finish, toss in sliced avocado for extra richness, or fold in kalamata olives for a more Mediterranean feel. You can also swap the dill for basil or parsley if that suits the meal.
