Cucumber salad with feta cheese

20 minutes

Cucumber salad with feta cheese is a light and refreshing dish of European cuisine. Its origin is linked to the traditions of the Mediterranean region, where fresh vegetables, cheese, and nuts are used. Tender slices of cucumber harmoniously combine with soft, slightly salty feta cheese, while crunchy pine nuts add a nutty flavor. Dressed with flaxseed oil, the salad gains a pleasant velvety texture and a hint of spiciness from black pepper. This salad is perfect for a light snack, as an accompaniment to a main dish, or as part of a summer feast. Its simplicity in preparation makes it a versatile choice for any occasion, and its fresh and vibrant taste is truly delightful.
