I had some fresh Feta leftover from my Lemon Feta Drumsticks, and I’ve been craving a good Greek Salad, but I wanted to make it without the lettuce and make cucumber the star of the show. This turned out better than I could have imagined! I used the Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer with the chipper blade to quickly whip this up into beautiful spirals and the results were a salad that’s crunchy and bright, and not weighed down by a heavy dressing. This took me less than 10 minutes start to finish – win!
Helpful Tips:
If you don’t own a spiralizer you can just dice the cucumbers with knife and make it a chopped Greek salad instead. For the best flavor, I highly recommend using a decent quality Feta cheese, don’t use the fat-free stuff, it’s awful! If you are making this ahead for lunch for work, you can leave the lemon juice and olive oil out, and pack it on the side, then just add it when you’re ready to eat. For Mason Jar Salad, put the dressing on the bottom, then layer with diced cheese, onion, olives, peppers, tomatoes and top with the cucumbers. To serve, simply shake the jar and pour it onto a plate.
