  • 1 large cucumber preferably seedless or peeled

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil optional for drizzling
  • 1 lemon lemon for juice

Equipment

  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the salad and lightly toss again to incorporate. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
  6. Arrange the salad on plates or a serving platter, optionally garnishing with additional feta or fresh herbs for presentation.
