Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cucumbers (about 1 pound each), peeled if waxy
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
2 ounces feta cheese, diced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Slice cucumbers lengthwise, and remove seeds. Cut 1 cucumber half into 1/4-inch dice, and transfer to a small bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, feta cheese, salt, and pepper, and toss well to combine. Add oregano, and toss again.
Use a vegetable peeler to remove 1 or 2 long strips of peel (if cucumbers are already peeled, remove a strip of flesh) from the underside of each cucumber half so they will sit without tipping. Divide cucumber-and-feta mixture among them.
Slice cucumbers on a slight diagonal into 1 1/2-inch sections, and serve immediately.
