Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

The vegetables

Rinse 2 cucumbers, trim off the ends but do not peel.

You can cut grooves lengthways with a small knife or special tool (shown in the photo), if you prefer this look, but it is not essential.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Slice the cucumber thinly (a mandolin is the ideal tool for this).

Sprinkle the slices with fine salt, mix well and leave for to rest for 30 minutes.

Stage 3 - 30 min.

Prepare 8 tomatoes and slice fairly thinly.

Sprinkle with fine salt, mix well and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

This helps to bring out the full flavour of the tomatoes and cucumber.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Dice 200 ml feta fairly small.

Set aside.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

The dressing

In a bowl mix 10 tablespoons olive oil and 6 tablespoons lemon juice with a little salt and pepper, then add 4 tablespoons dry oregano.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Drain the cucumber slices and discard the juices. Transfer to a salad bowl.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Drain the tomato slices and discard the juices. Add to the salad bowl.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Add the diced feta, the finely chopped 2 spring onions (scallions) and some finely chopped chives.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Pour the dressing over and mix well.

Stage 10

Serve garnished with an anchovy fillet or a few black olives (if your diners like them).

Remarks

You can use a small red onion instead of the spring onion. Plain olive oil can be replaced with herb olive oil for even more flavour.

And to drink?
