I came across this cucumber with feta and mint salad not too long ago. I really liked everything about the salad from the crisp, cool, and juicy cucumbers to the salty feta, the fresh herbs and lemon vinaigrette. I thought that this cool and refreshing salad would finish off my lamb souvlaki dinner perfectly. Although I really liked the sound of the mint in the salad, I was already going with a dill theme in the meal so I used dill in the cucumber salad as well. The dill went really well in the salad though next time I will have to try it with the mint. This salad was really simple to make and came together in no time at all. I will be making this a lot over the summer.

Cucumber is so refreshing isn’t it? I love salads like this, especially in the summer.
Oh cucumbers. They are my favorite salad ingredient and this recipe sounds just delicious.
I am so glad that you enjoyed the salad Kevin. It really is quite refreshing. I have to give the credit to Aglaia Kremezi of the cooking school on Kea. Her family has made this salad for generations:D

You’re turning into a fully paid-up Greek, aren’t you?! Still, with this kind of food, that could be a good plan…
This does sound like a perfect spring salad. The more dill the better. Very refreshing.
This goes hand in hand with the perfect weather in NY!
I had just been looking at home made ice cream on another blog when I clicked through to this salad. If anything, it ramped up my salivating, Kevin. So fresh and delicious! And I think the dill was a really good call.

That looks delightfully simple to prepare and like its loaded with flavor. Seems like a great refreshing, pick-me-up kind of side dish for many a summer dish. I’ll be remembering this one as the weather keeps warming up…seems like it could go quite nicely with many a fish dish!
looks so nice and light and refreshing!
simple to make and refreshing too!
