Greek Cucumbers
I have had a long love affair with Greek food. I grew up in a pretty big city and lived
4 minutes, walking distance to a Greek restaurant..that's when it all started. I was
obsessed with baklava, moussaka, spanakopita, and all things feta related. I was the -
only 10 year old that I knew that would order a spinach pizza with feta over a cheese
pizza. Fast forward 20 years and not much has changed. I will cook anything Greek
and I will throw feta on just about anything. This recipe is very easy and can be served
alone or as a side dish...it would go prefect with lemon chicken. Enjoy!!
Greek Cucumbers
2 English cucumbers, sliced
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano
4 ounces feta
salt and pepper
1) Mix all of the 9 ingredients in a bowl and serve.
Here are a few more of my favorite Greek dishes.

That looks delicious!! I also love the cucumber yogurt (forgetting the name) they serve in pitas... so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteSo I love cheese....really any kind. Even stinky cheeses. Haha....so anything with feta I pretty much love too. This would be a great snack as well!! I crave tangy foods--so this is perfect. If I crave this now--what in the world will I be like when I'm pregnant?
ReplyDeleteYum! I love Greek food myself. All things spinach, feta and falafel's. I had my first falafel in NYC when I was 12. Been in love ever since :)
