- 1/4 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt(optional)

Instructions
- 1
Wash the cucumbers and use a vegetable peeler to shave them into long, thin ribbons, stopping when you reach the watery seed core.
- 2
Place the cucumber ribbons on a paper towel and pat gently to remove excess moisture.
- 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried oregano to create the vinaigrette.
- 4
Stir the chopped Kalamata olives into the vinaigrette to infuse the flavors.
- 5
In a large serving bowl, lightly toss the cucumber ribbons with the thinly sliced red onions.
- 6
Drizzle the olive lemon vinaigrette over the cucumbers and toss very gently to coat without breaking the ribbons.
- 7
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley over the top.
- 8
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately to maintain the crisp texture.
