Stuffed Cucumber with Feta
- 1 English (cello-wrapped) cucumber*
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese crumbles
- 2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- pinch EACH sea salt and pepper
*I prefer English cucumbers because they have fewer, smaller seeds and are usually unwaxed.
Any cucumbers can be substituted, just be sure the skin is unwaxed!
-Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a spoon (or a melon baller) to remove the seeds.
-Cut one of the cucumber halves in half. Dice one of the halves of the half (!!!) into 1/2-inch dice.
-Place the diced cucumber into a small bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir.
-Spoon the mixture into your hollowed-out cukes.
-(If your cucumbers are not lying flat and you feel as if they will tip over, take a vegetable peeler and peel a long strip
off of the bottom of the cucumber. This will prevent it from tipping.)
-Slice the cucumber diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving time.
