Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber peeled & de-seeded
  • 6 medium plum tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 1 small red onion sliced thinly
  • 10 black olives in brine
  • ¾ cup reduced fat feta cheese (90g)
  • ¼ - ½ tsp dried oregano optional

Instructions

  • Start off by preparing the onion. Peel it then slice it thinly.
  • Depending on the pungency of your onion, you may want to neutralise the flavor a little by placing the onion slices in a bowl of cold water whilst you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • Peel the cucumber with a potato peeler or a sharp knife.
  • Once peeled, cut it in half widthways and then again lengthways so you have 4 pieces of cucumber.
  • Use a teaspoon de-seed the cucumber by running the spoon down the middle (where all the seeds are). De-seeding the cucumber prevents the salad from becoming too watery once its prepared.
  • Chop the cucumber into chunks. You don't have to be too precise about this!
  • Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and then chop them into irregular chunks.
  • Place the chopped tomatoes and chopped cucumber into a bowl.
  • If you have been soaking your sliced onions, drain them in a sieve or colander.
  • Add the sliced onions to the dish and mix in with the cucumber and tomatoes.
  • Scatter the olives over the top - I like to keep my olives whole but you may prefer to chop them up.
  • Gently crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad.
  • I don't dress this salad as I don't feel that it needs it.
  • If you do want to dress it then the traditional way of doing so would be a drizzle of olive oil (remember to point this if you do!)
  • Serve, enjoy and remember to track!
