According to David Scott's Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery , this easy salad is from Egypt, and is often served with the bean salad, ful medames . I love it - it is fresh and summery, and delicious on a hot day. Feel free to reduce, or even omit, the onion if you don't like to eat it raw - the recipe still works well without it. Ingredients:
1 cucumber |
1 small mild onions (optional) or 1 medium mild onion (optional) |
1 lettuce (i use cos, romaine or little gem, and you only need a few leaves per serving) |
4 ounces feta cheese (100g) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 lemon, juice of |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Place a few lettuce leaves (shredded) on each of four side plates.
2. Slice the cucumber and onion very, very thinly, and divide the slices between the four plates, arranging them neatly on top of the lettuce.
3. Chop the cheese very finely, and mix well with the olive oil, the juice of a lemon, the oregano and some freshly ground black pepper.
4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion on each plate, and serve.
