Ingredients

1 large English cucumber seedless
½ tsp. salt sprinkled and let sit 30 min
1 pint tomatoes cut in half
½ cup red onion thinly sliced
½ cup black olives pitted, drained, cut in half
4 oz. Feta cheese crumbled
3 Tbsp. parsley fresh, finely chopped
3 Tbsp. oil avocado or olive
2 Tbsp. lemon juice freshly squeezed
½ tsp. oregano dried
¼ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. sugar

Instructions

Trim the ends from the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut into ¼” slices.
Add the sliced cucumber to a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Let sit for 15-30 minutes while you prep the other ingredients. After sitting, use a paper towel to dab off the excess moisture.
Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl.
Add the tomatoes, onion, olives, cheese, and parsley to the bowl with the cucumbers. Drizzle the dressing over top and then toss until everything is well combined. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours to serve chilled.
