Ingredients
  

4 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, finely sliced

1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely sliced red onion. Gently toss the vegetables to ensure they are well mixed.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: Drizzle the dressing over the cucumber and tomato mixture in the large bowl. Using gentle motions, toss the salad until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the zesty dressing.

        Add Cheese: If you choose to use it, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad. Carefully toss the salad again to distribute the cheese throughout, blending its salty richness with the fresh vegetables.

          Chill: Cover the salad and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and enhances the overall taste.

            Serve: Before serving, give the salad a final gentle toss. Present it chilled as a delightful side dish or a refreshing light lunch option.
