Spinach, Cucumber & Feta Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette

By Tufgrlz

Ingredients

• Juice of 1 lemon
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt & pepper
• 8 cups (about 8 ounces) prewashed baby spinach leaves
• 1 seedless (English) cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 6 ounces crumbed Greek Feta cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large serving bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and cumin. Add a little salt and pepper, but go easy on the salt because the Feta is usually fairly salty! Add the spinach, cucumber slices and Feta and toss to combine. Check for seasoning and serve.

Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc is a good salad wine because the crisp acidity can stand up to the vinegar (or in this case, lemon juice) in most dressings.
