Ingredients

Serves 4 people
  • 6 baby cucumbers, peeled
  • 1 block of feta (alternatively, you could use store bought feta crumbles)
  • 1 stale baguette (alternatively, you could use store bought breadcrumbs)
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced
  • a few sprigs of fresh mint

The dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more to season the feta)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (plus more to season the feta)
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • Pepper
  • Salt

Instructions 

  • If you are using store bought breadcrumbs, skip to step 3. If you are making breadcrumbs from scratch, preheat oven to 375. Break up baguette (ideally slightly stale baguette) into bite sized pieces. Add to a baking sheet with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes or until nice and browned.
  • Transfer to a food processor and blend until they become breadcrumbs.
  • Peel baby cucumbers and cut into fourths lengthwise, then widthwise.
  • Add olive oil, lemon juice and half the chopped mint to a bowl with the feta. Season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or clean hands, break up feta into crumbles.
  • Combine dressing ingredients and mix until creamy.
  • Combine cucumbers, crumbled feta, sliced shallots to a bowl and top with the dressing. Finish with breadcrumbs and more fresh mint. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: Use store bought breadcrumbs & feta crumbles to make this salad even faster to make.
