Cucumber Feta Salad with Dill

I'm doing an 8 Week Health Challenge which requires me to keep track of what I'm eating.  I'm not one for dieting, or diet food.  It's boring and it makes me cranky.  I've discovered good tasting healthy food doesn't need to be boring.  You can eat cheese.  You can indulge in moderation.  This challenge forces me to get a little creative with recipes.  In that case, it's not so challenging but fun....I'm food obsessed.  It's a sickness.

I came up with this recipe while craving something fresh, crisp and with loads of flavour.  The cucumbers give the perfect crunch, the lemon dressing is tangy, the feta lends that delicious saltiness, the slight sharpness from the sweet onion and the dill rounds it out perfectly.  I love this salad.

You get two pictures because it's just so pretty...perfect for spring!

Cucumber Feta Salad with Dill

Serves 4

1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/2 tbsp fresh squeezed Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste (remember the Feta is salty)
1 English Cucumber, sliced into rounds
1/4 small Sweet Onion, thinly sliced
2 ounces Feta Cheese in brine (Light or regular)
Fresh Dill

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Place the cucumbers on a small platter or plate.  Top with the sweet onions and then the Feta cheese. Sprinkle over as much fresh dill as you like and drizzle the dressing over it all.  Voila.
