Here’s a little cucumber salad I tossed together with some leftover cucumber and tomatoes to go with our Dan Dan Noodles. I went a little bit Greek with the addition of Kalamata olives and Feta cheese. Going for simple, I added a splash of lemon juice and lemon infused olive oil to top it off. It was the perfect little side salad that tasted fresh and crisp alongside our meal.
I started with a leftover cucumber, added a carton of cherry tomatoes, some katamala olives, and some feta cheese. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, dill weed, lemon juice and lemon infused olive oil. But if you don’t have lemon olive oil, extra virgin olive oil will work fine.
I started a layer of cucumber and tomato.
Slice about 1/4 cup of katamala olives. Sprinkle dill weed, about 1/2 teaspoon and salt and pepper to taste.
Spritz lemon juice over top, maybe a teaspoon or two worth. And drizzle with olive oil.
And Enjoy!
