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.
