A vibrant and refreshing salad perfect for warm days, combining crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and a tangy dressing.
Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and toss to coat evenly.
Salting the cucumbers helps draw out excess moisture, keeping the salad crisp.
Let the cucumbers sit in the colander over a bowl for about 30 minutes to drain. Shake off any excess liquid.
Draining the cucumbers prevents the salad from becoming watery.
Slice the tomatoes and onion thinly and add them to a large mixing bowl along with the drained cucumbers.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the vegetables' texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, dill weed, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Add the feta cheese just before serving to maintain its texture and flavor.
