Step-by-Step Instructions
- To start making your Greek Salad with Shaved Cucumber, take 2-3 unpeeled English cucumbers and use a vegetable peeler to shave long strips into a bowl until you have about 6 cups of cucumber. Aim for thin, ribbon-like pieces for maximum freshness and texture. Set them aside in the bowl while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Next, wash and dice 1 pound of ripe tomatoes into wedges, ensuring to mix different colors if possible for a vibrant salad. Place the tomato wedges in a large salad bowl or on a platter for an appealing presentation.
- Then, grab your pitted Castelvetrano olives—about 2/3 cup—and scatter them over the tomatoes. If preferred, you can substitute with your favorite green olives for a different flavor.
- Now, slice 1/2 cup of green onions, using both the green and white parts for a mild, oniony flavor. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the salad.
- Next, crumble about 1/3 cup of feta cheese over the salad, distributing it evenly. Follow with 2 teaspoons of dried oregano.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar until well combined. Drizzle this dressing over the salad and finish off with 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper.
- Gently toss all the ingredients in the large bowl or on the platter to combine all the flavors. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes
Assemble the salad just before serving to keep cucumbers crisp and juicy; they release water over time.
