Egyptian Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced thin (not paper thin)
1/4 cup scallions (thinly sliced)
4 oz feta cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh chopped mint
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Peel the cucumber, slice lengthwise then with a spoon remove seeds and then slice it. Sprinkle the cucumbers with a little bit of salt, place in a strainer and let sit for about an hour to allow liquids to drain . (Be sure not to use too much salt, the feta can be salty)
In a medium glass bowl put in the chopped feta and add scallions. With a fork, mash the feta to break into smaller pieces and also to blend it with the scallions. Then mix in the lemon and oil, then set aside.
After an hour that the cucumbers have set, blot them with a paper towel to remove the moisture. Then cut it up into smaller pieces. Add them to the feta mixture, along with the chopped mint. Mix well and serve.
