Ingredients

Scale

The ingredients for this salad are as accessible as they are delicious. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can substitute the mint with dill or parsley, and even add some kalamata olives for a Mediterranean twist. Mama Lou always said that recipes are like stories—they’re meant to be shared and adapted.

Instructions

Preparing this salad is as easy as pie—or should I say, as easy as Mama Lou’s apple pie!

  1. Start by slicing the cucumbers thinly. Mama Lou always said that the key to a good salad is uniformity, so take your time.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Give it a gentle toss.
  3. Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves to the bowl. The mint brings a surprising freshness that elevates the dish.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This dressing is what binds the salad together in a delightful harmony.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the flavors. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld, just like Mama Lou used to let her stories simmer before sharing them with us.
