Cucumber and Peach Salad Recipe
Start preparing the cucumber and peach salad by washing the cucumber and cutting off the ends.
If you prefer, you can peel it.
Cut the cucumber into small cubes.
Do the same with the peaches.
The variety I used has smooth skin, so I left it on.
If you prefer, peel it before cutting.
Transfer the cucumber and peach cubes to a bowl.
Wash the basil and dry it well.
Shred the leaves with your hands and add them to the cucumbers and peaches.
Dress the salad with salt, black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil.
Mix well with two spoons or with the appropriate salad servers.
Separately crumble the Greek feta with your hands or cut it into cubes.
Add the feta to the rest of the salad and mix well to distribute it evenly.
Bring the cucumber and peach salad to the table immediately.
