Cucumber Feta Salad
Cucumber Feta Salad combines thinly sliced English cucumbers with crumbled feta, fresh dill, and green onion, tossed in a dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, oregano, salt, and pepper. Chilling the salad before serving helps the cucumbers absorb the tangy dressing, resulting in a crisp, balanced side dish with fresh herbal notes and creamy cheese.

Notes
- Chill salad 15-30 minutes before serving for better flavor absorption.
- Use English cucumbers for thin skin and fewer seeds, no peeling needed.
- Freshly chop dill and herbs just before mixing for stronger aroma.
- Taste before adding extra salt; feta provides significant saltiness.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, agave, or simple syrup.
- If out of red wine vinegar, balsamic, apple cider, or rice vinegar work as alternatives.
- Make the salad hours ahead for convenience; toss again before serving.
