Time 30m

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 small cucumber, peeled, halved and seeded
1/2 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
4 cups torn romaine lettuce
1/4 pound feta, preferably French goat's-milk feta
2 tablespoons best quality olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or red-wine vinegar
Coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the cucumber halves. You need just 1 cup. In a bowl, combine the cucumber with the onion and sprinkle with the salt. Mix, then let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the romaine in a large salad bowl. Break the feta into small (1/2-inch) pieces and drop them into the bowl. Gather the cucumber and onion in your fist and squeeze out any excess moisture. Scatter them over the romaine. Sprinkle the oil and vinegar over the salad. Grind pepper over top and then mix the salad gently so that you dress it without mashing the cheese to bits.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover romaine lettuce. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

I'm not usually a fan of feta cheese, but it really worked in this salad. It added a nice salty flavor.
