For the Salad:
-
1 long English cucumber (approx. 300 g), sliced into half-moons
-
1 small avocado, diced
-
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
-
115 g (4 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
-
1 tbsp chopped parsley
-
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
For the Dressing:
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
-
1 clove garlic, finely minced
-
½ tsp dried oregano
-
½ tsp kosher salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine cucumber, avocado, red onion, feta, parsley, and dill.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat, being careful not to mash the avocado.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add radishes or slivered almonds for crunch.
Dressing can be made ahead and stored for up to 5 days.
Use ripe yet firm avocados for the best texture.
Wait to add avocado if making ahead to prevent browning.
Fresh dill makes a big difference—don’t skip it.
