Instructions
Step 1: Shake the dressing ingredients in a jar until well combined, or whisk them in a bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld while you chop the salad ingredients.
Step 2: Put the cucumbers, herbs, onion, and most of the feta in a bowl, reserving a little feta for topping. Add the dressing and toss.
Step 3: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining feta and serve straight away. It keeps well for an hour, and can also be enjoyed the next day, when the cucumbers become semi-pickled.
Notes
Variations and leftovers
If using long English, continental, or telegraph cucumbers, peel them in stripes or peel them completely if the skin is thick.
If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano in the dressing.
If you leave out the feta, add 1/4 teaspoon extra salt to the dressing.
For leftovers, refrigerate for up to a day. Toss well and drain off excess liquid before serving.
