Cucumber Salad
This tasty cucumber salad recipe combines honeydew, cucumber, and feta cheese in a garlic, lemon, pepper dressing to create an amazing salad. While honeydew is usually the backbone of fruit salads, it can also shine in savory recipes, like this one with crunchy cucumber, feta cheese, and mint. The lemon-and–olive oil dressing has lots of black pepper to temper the flavour of the melon.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more as needed
- 0.125 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 lb honeydew melon large dice
- 12 ounce pickling cucumbers such as kirby medium dice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions
Place the lemon zest and juice, measured pepper, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. While whisking continuously, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until it’s fully incorporated.
Add the melon, cucumber, and mint and toss to combine. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill until the flavors meld, at least 1 hour and up to hours.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the salad to a serving platter, leaving any liquid in the bowl behind. Top with the feta and season with more pepper.
