Cucumber and Feta Salad

• 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced into pea-sized pieces
• coarse salt
• 8 ounces (225g) feta cheese (see Note)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
• 2-3 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon water
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 small red onion, peeled and finely-diced
• 1 tablespoon (each) chopped fresh mint, parsley and fresh dill

1. Place the cucumber pieces in a colander, mix with a light sprinkling salt, and let drain 30 minutes to an hour, shaking the colander from time to time.
2. Crumble the feta into a bowl and mash together with the olive oil, lemon juice, water, and a few turns of black pepper.
3. Mix in the cucumbers, onions, and herbs. Taste, and add more salt if desired.
Serve with toasted or soft pita triangles or crackers.
