Cucumber & Olive Salad

Nothing beats a simple salad, especially when the sun is shining and you have a chance to sit and savour a little bit of goodness. In my opinion the dressing is as important as the salad components – it brings the whole plate together and gives everything a satisfying lift. Here the saltiness of the olives paired with the lemon in the dressing keeps everything light and the crunch of the cucumber makes this a joy to eat.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cucumber, cut into thin rounds
  • 10 pitted green olives, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1 dsp lemon
  • A handful of parsley, finely chopped
  • Ground black pepper

Method:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, oregano, lemon and season with the black pepper.
  2. Using the dish you’re serving your salad in, evenly distribute the cucumber, olives and parsley.
  3. Drizzle over the oil mixture and serve.

Enjoy 🙂
