Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

For the Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp fresh oregano minced (or sub in 1/2 tsp dried oregano)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Salad:

  • 2 English cucumbers spiralized*
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives pitted and chopped

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, feta cheese and olives to a large bowl. Add desired amount of dressing and toss to combine (I only used half the dressing). Enjoy!

Notes

*If you don't own a spiralizer, you can also thinly slice the cucumbers using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
*Cut cucumbers in half before spiralizing to make the spiralizing process easier and to shorten the cucumber noodle strands. You may also wish to cut the strands in half with kitchen scissors or break up with your hands as you go to prevent them from being too long.
*If you want to get rid of excess water in the cucumber noodles, place them in a wire mesh strainer and sprinkle them with a bit of salt to help draw out some of the excess water. This can help prevent soggy noodles! I do this step if I have time, but it's not 100% necessary. The salad is still delicious even if you choose to skip this step!
