Crisp spirals of cucumber mingle with sweet tomatoes, briny olives, and peppery onion, all glistening under lemon and olive oil. Thick feta melts softly against each fresh, herb-scented bite.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 seedless English cucumber (about 7 ounces)
  • 1/4 of a green bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/3 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
  • 5 pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 tbsp red onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 fresh lemon
  • 1 oz fresh feta (sliced thick)
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp fresh oregano leaves (minced)

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the cucumbers using the chipper blade on the Paderno spiralizer.
  2. Cut the strands into smaller pieces, about 5-6 inches long so it's easier to eat. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can just dice the cucumbers with a knife into small cubes.
  3. Place the cucumber in a large work bowl along with the bell pepper, tomatoes, olives and red onion.
  4. Squeeze half of the lemon over it, drizzle with half of the olive oil and toss with fresh oregano, salt and pepper.
  5. Place on a plate, top with a slice of feta and finish with remaining olive oil.
