- salt and pepper , to taste
Salad:
- 1 long english cucumber , or 3-4 baby cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons mint fresh ; chopped
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Shake together all vinaigrette ingredients.
- Spiralize cucumber: use a long, straight cucumber, and cut straight across the mid section of the cucumber to create 2 halves. Use the ⅛ inch (thinnest) noodle blade on your spiralizer, and work through the cucumbers to create noodles. Cut the noodles up a few times so you don't have extremely long cucumber noodles.
