Ingredients
- 3 giant cucumbers
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 1 pound feta cheese
- 1 bunch green onions
- grated zest of 1 small lemon
- extra-virgin olive oil
- red wine vinegar
- salt and ground pepper
- parmesan or pecorino romano cheese, for grating
Preparation
Step 1
Wash and dry cucumbers, then halve lengthwise. Cut in half lengthwise again, then chop crosswise into even chunks. Place cucumber pieces in large bowl.
Remove stems from and halve cherry tomatoes. Add tomatoes to cucumber bowl. Chop ends off green onions and then chop entire bunch into small pieces. Add green onions to cucumber bowl, then add grated lemon zest. Lightly toss the vegetables together.
Crumble feta cheese over salad, then add olive oil and red wine vinegar to taste, using more vinegar than oil. Season with salt and ground pepper; toss all ingredients together to coat. Refrigerate to chill; before serving, grate parmesan or pecorino romano over salad.
Serves 6-10 (know your crowd!) as a side dish. Double (or halve) as necessary
