cucumber feta salad

Cucumber Feta Salad is in, boring salads are out: This salad starts with couscous and gets topped with a mix of veggies, chickpeas, and feta. Drizzle on the lemon vinaigrette, and get ready to fall in love!

Cucumber Feta Salad

pearled couscous

English/salad cucumbers,

avocado, (diced)

(15 oz.) chickpeas,

parsley

feta cheese

red wine vinegar

Dijon mustard

Italian seasoning

garlic

olive oil

honey

lemon juice (freshly squeezed (plus 1/4 tsp zest))

Salt & pepper

COMBINE: Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well and refrigerate until ready to use.

COUSCOUS: Prepare couscous according to package directions (Note 1). Transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate until chilled.

SALAD: To the cooled couscous, add cucumbers, avocado, chickpeas, parsley, and feta. Shake the dressing and drizzle over salad. Gently toss to combine and serve immediately.

STORAGE: Once dressed, this salad doesn’t keep well as the avocado browns and the dressing wilts the veggies. Only dress what you plan to eat. This salad does not freeze well.

Wife and I loved it.  I think I could of eaten the whole bowl.  Your measurements were spot on and the tip with the right amount of olive oil and salt in the couscous was perfect.  Had to use an entire cucumber because I was out of the Persian ones.  Yummy none the less thank you.

Love this cucumber and feta salad!  The addition of the avocado is a must because everything tests better with avocado!  Simple and perfect for lunch or a side dish.

I’m not sure if I’ve reviewed this yet but I found this recipe probably about six months ago and I’ve made it a dozen times since. It is so fresh, easy, filling, delicious. I make it as a side or top it with grilled salmon for a meal. The salad dressing is delicious and inspired to start making all of my own dressings. Finding this was such a win.

I’ve made this salad a handful of times now, it never disappoints. It’s super easy, refreshing, and a crowd pleaser. YUMMM, thanks for this awesome recipe, Chef!

The best salad I’ve had in a long time! Saw it on Instagram. Made it for dinner with friends. We all had seconds on salad and then barely could finish our steaks! Thanks for sharing. It’s “my” new signature salad.

So delish and easy! Always a hit! The vegan feta from Trader Joe’s goes well with this if you are dairy free!

This salad is addictive! And it gives a totally new spin on cucumber salads - yum!!!

OBSESSED with this salad! This will be on repeat from now until forever. So fresh and light, yet satisfying. Could eat just a whole bowl of this for a meal!

This salad is amazing, and tastes even better the next day. I did not have fresh dill on hand so I used some green onions from the garden. I love how the avocado gives it a creaminess that keeps me coming back for more!
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes, and thanks Mama D!

I saw you make this recipe on Instagram recently and decided to make it tonight. So, so good. I'm sure that this salad will become a regular on my menu. Thank you!!!

I’ve made this twice now (as is) - it’s so delicious! I served it with grilled salmon both times. It’s definitely filling and you don’t need much seasoning on your protein because it’s SO flavorful.

Our family found this recipe before new years, we've now made it five times in ten days. Very delicious and fresh addition to many of our winter meals!

I tried this recipe at the weekend, and I LOVE it!  I have never tried using Dill in a salad dressing but oh its so good and fresh, brings the dish alive, especially the cucumber.

There were no leftovers, but I have made it twice since then.  Thank you for such a wonderful combination.
