Made with ridged cucumber, yellow cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta Lesbos, this easy Mediterranean-inspired salad is perfect as a light summer lunch or served alongside any meal.
Ridge cucumbers, or outdoor cucumbers, tend to be shorter, plumper and they've got a rougher skin. You can use other varieties, such as long, slender English or smaller, (almost) seedless Persian cucumbers.

 

2 Ridged cucumbers, scrubbed 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp Red wine vinegar 60 g Kalamata olives 100 g Cherry tomatoes, halved 1 Small red onion, thinly sliced 200 g Feta Lesbos, halved diagonally 1/2 tsp Dried oregano leaves, to serve Dried chilli flakes, to serve

1. Use a vegetable peeler to peel thin ribbons from the cucumber. Place in a bowl of iced water. Set aside for 1 hour or until curled. Drain and gently pat dry.
2. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil and red wine vinegar together in a small bowl and season.
3. Place the cucumber ribbons, olives, tomato, onion and half the dressing in a bowl. Toss to combine. Place on a serving plate. Top with the feta. Sprinkle the feta with the oregano and chilli flakes. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
