This salad was born out of Gerrit’s favourite salad, which was Tomato and cucumber salad.
We used to serve the tomato and cucumber salad every week with Shabbat and whatever was left over he would finish. The only thing is that Jacques does not eat tomatoes so I searched for a salad that I could make just for him.
Although it is a very fast and easy salad it is very flavourful.
What you need for the salad
- Cucumber
- Onions
- Feta
Optional addition of Fresh parsley
What you need for the dressing
- Olive oil
- Lemon Juice
- Salt and pepper
Cut the cucumbers according to your own desire. We sometimes chop them up into squares and sometimes just in round slices or half rounds.
We prefer to use red onions for the colour that it adds to the salad. It’s also a bit sweeter. These to you can cut in small squares or thin slices.
Cut the Feta in small cubes.
Mix all the ingredients of the dressing together and taste it before pouring it over your salad. Make sure you use enough salt and pepper otherwise the salad can be a bit bland.
For a special treat we have also recently added fresh cut parsley, just because we had it in the fridge. It was such a great addition that I think it will now be a permanent part of the salad, unless we don’t have it in the fridge.
We normally only add the dressing to the salad just before we serve it.
