A couple of weeks ago I drove over to my Son's place to pick up my granddaughter Chloe who was going to spend a couple of days with Grandma (me) and Grandpa. My wonderful daughter in-law Noelle (she is a great cook herself) made this delecious salad and I wanted to share with you. It is a great way to use cucumbers and a great tasting summer salad.
Cucumber Mediterranean Salad
Ingredient's:
2 Cucumbers, peeled and cut up into small chunks
2 Sweet Peppers (I used orange and yellow to give it some color)
8-10 Kalamata Olives diced
1 small sweet onion sliced up
10-12 Cherry tomatoes cut up
5-6 Basil Leaves cut up and diced
1 Lemon
1/2 C olive Oil (or Canola Oil)
1 tablespoon Mediterranean spice seasoning
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1/4 C of Feta Cheese (or a little more if you wish), I used the Feta Cheese with tomato and basil spices
Put all of the ingredients (cucumbers, peppers, olives, onions, tomatoes and basil) into a medium size bowl, adding in the Mediterranean spice and mixed it all up.
Take the lemon, slice up into quarters and squeeze the lemon juice over the salad mixture and then add the olive oil and mix together.
Salt and pepper to taste and then add the Feta Cheese and serve up for dinner, otherwise put into the Refrigerator to chill. You can make up the night before and/or a couple of hours before you serve.
I made this up the day before and it tasted great with having the seasonings have some time to blend in with all of the ingredients.
