Notes
- I recommend using a block of feta cheese versus the crumbled kind that comes in tubs, as I find the block of cheese has more flavor.
- If you use a standard waxy cucumber you'll want to peel it and remove the seeds. Varieties such as English and Persian cucumbers do not need to be peeled or seeded.
