Helpful Tips
- Use block feta, not pre-crumbled. The texture is creamier, and the flavor is much more pronounced.
- Salt your cucumbers lightly before assembling. This helps draw out extra moisture and keeps the salad from getting watery.
- Don’t skip the oregano. A good pinch of dried oregano gives the dressing its signature Greek flavor and brings the whole dish together.
