Cucumbers with Fetaxa

Make a light salad of fresh vegetables and greens! Cucumbers and tomatoes with fetaxa make a delicious summer salad, rounded out with lettuce and spinach. Sesame seeds pull the whole flavor together — toast them first until lightly golden. You can dress the salad with olive oil or any other vegetable oil you like. Serve it on its own, with whole-grain crackers, or alongside any side dish. Salads like this pair perfectly with meat dishes — it doesn't get much tastier!

  • Salads are a staple of everyday eating, and fresh-vegetable salads are especially good for you — they fill your body with useful vitamins and minerals. A lot comes down to the dressing, too. Mayonnaise, for one, isn't the best choice; it's always better to reach for a plant-based oil. Plain yogurt or low-fat sour cream is a good option as well. This recipe shares the secrets of a vegetable salad with fetaxa. Fetaxa is a type of brine cheese, similar to feta: it has a softer, more uniform texture than feta but a very close flavor. To make it easier to cut, pop the package of cheese in the freezer for 5–10 minutes first — that keeps it from sticking to the knife. 1. Rinse the tomato under running water and pat it dry, then cut it into small pieces. 2. Cut the fetaxa into small cubes. 3. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet (no oil) until fragrant, about 2 minutes. 4. Wash the lettuce and spinach and let them dry a little, then tear the greens by hand into rough pieces. 5. Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin ribbons — a vegetable peeler makes this easy. 6. Put the spinach and lettuce in a deep salad bowl, then add the cucumber, tomato, and fetaxa. 7. Sprinkle the salad with the toasted sesame seeds and dress with olive oil. 8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss. Serve. Enjoy!
