A fresh, crunchy salad that is both light and aromatic—perfect for warm days !
Ingredients (serves 3–4) :
2 cucumbers
150g feta cheese
3 tablespoons mint-infused olive oil
Juice of ½ a lemon
A few fresh mint leaves
1 shallot or red onion
Fleur de sel and pepper
Recipe :
Wash the cucumbers, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. If the skin is thick, you can peel it all off or just remove strips of it.
Very finely slice the shallot or red onion.
In a salad bowl, combine the cucumbers and shallot. Crumble the feta over the top.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the lemon juice with the mint-infused olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Add a few fresh mint leaves just before serving.
Serve well chilled.
For an extra touch of indulgence :
Add a few black Tanche or Kalamata olives
Sprinkle with seeds (pine nuts or sesame seeds)
Add a few diced avocado pieces for extra richness
Serve with toasted bread or pita bread
Bon appétit !
