Cucumber, Mint & Fetta Salad

This Cucumber, Mint & Fetta Salad is proof that you don't need a long list of ingredients to make an unforgettable salad.

I first discovered this fresh summer salad at a friend's BBQ back in the early 2000's. I fell in love with the flavours and my friend shared the recipe with me – and I've been making it since.

It's especially perfect with seafood or a summer BBQ.

Ingredient notes

You'll need:

• a cucumber of the continental (telegraph) variety
• fetta cheese
• fresh mint
• olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

The exact quantities can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Making Cucumber, Mint & Fetta Salad

First, wash the cucumber and slice strips of peel from it with a vegetable peeler to create a striped effect.

Slice the cucumber and arrange on a serving platter.

Chop the mint and crumble the fetta with your hands.

Mix chopped mint and crumbled fetta together before sprinkling over the sliced cucumber.

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and a little salt and pepper together.

Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately or store in fridge (for up to one day) until serving.
