A delightful and refreshing salad combining crisp cucumbers, tangy feta, and aromatic herbs, perfect for warm days.
Prepare the cucumbers by washing them thoroughly.
Using fresh cucumbers ensures a crisp texture.
Slice the cucumbers lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Removing the seeds prevents the salad from becoming too watery.
Cut the cucumbers into bite-sized chunks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Uniform pieces ensure even flavor distribution.
Add the crumbled feta, chopped scallions, and fresh mint to the bowl.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the feta too much.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the salad and drizzle with olive oil.
Adjust the lemon juice to taste for desired tanginess.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors but avoid letting it sit too long to prevent wateriness.
