Save time and spiralize crisp cucumber instead of chopping it for this easy, healthy vegetable side inspired by Greek salad. Want to make it a meal? Just add grilled chicken, shrimp or canned chickpeas.
Ingredients:
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 large cucumber
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup cubed feta cheese
¼ cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
Directions:
Whisk oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Using a spiral vegetable slicer with the chipper blade attachment (for thick noodles), cut cucumber lengthwise into "noodles." Cut the noodles into 2-inch lengths.
Add the cucumber noodles, tomatoes, onion, cheese and olives to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Serve topped with more oregano, if desired.
