Step by step recipe
| 1 |  | Wash 1 cucumber, peel and slice (a mandolin is the ideal tool for this), then cut into sticks, and finally into small dice. Put to wait in a seive. If you prefer your cucumber softer rather than crunchy, salt lightly to tenderise and draw out some of the juice. |
10 min. |
| 2 |  | Prepare ½ onion and chop finely. | 5 min. |
| 3 |  | Prepare 4 tomatoes and cut into small dice. | 20 min. |
| 4 |  | Dice 100 g feta. | 5 min. |
| 5 |  | Remove the stones from 30 g black olives and chop roughly. | 5 min. |
| 6 |  | Prepare a "citronette" (lemon) dressing, by mixing 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and pepper. | 5 min. |
| 7 |  | Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, then add the fresh herbs and mix again. | 5 min. |
| 8 |  | Add the dressing and mix once more. It's ready. |
2 min. |
Remarks
Take care to use the recommended quantity of olive oil; it's important for the end result, and ideally use Greek oil if you can.
Use a red onion if possible; they are available in the summer and are so good raw.
