Greek-Style Cucumber & Tomato Strip Salad
A classic light Greek dish—refreshing, grease-cutting, and healthy! Prep cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions in a breeze with the Geedel manual food chopper. Cut veggies into chunks, spin 4 times to get thin strips—saves 10 minutes vs. hand-chopping. Then use the built-in salad spinner to dry them thoroughly, keeping the salad crisp without excess water. Tossed with feta cheese, olives, olive oil, and lemon juice, it’s a favorite for light-eating lovers!
Ingredients (Serves 6)
2 cucumbers (peeled)
4 medium tomatoes
1/2 red onion (peeled)
150g feta cheese (cubed)
50g black olives (halved)
20g fresh parsley (chopped)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano
Detailed Instructions
1.Shred veggies with Geedel
Cut cucumbers and tomatoes into manageable chunks. Place them into the vegetable chopper separately and spin 4 times to get thin strips. Cut the red onion into chunks, put it in the chopper, and spin 3 times for fine shreds. The chopper produces crisp, tender strips—no over-chopping or moisture loss, preserving the veggies’ fresh, refreshing taste.
2.Dry thoroughly (key for crispness)
Transfer the vegetable strips and onion shreds to the salad spinner (a handy built-in feature of the manual vegetable chopper). Spin for 15 seconds to remove all excess water. This prevents sogginess and keeps the salad crunchy. It’s more space-saving than a standalone salad spinner—practical and hassle-free.
3. Toss and season
In a large bowl, combine the dried veggie strips, onion shreds, feta cheese cubes, and black olives. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then add salt, crushed black pepper, and dried oregano. Use the chopper’s mixing attachment to toss gently until every strip is evenly coated with the dressing. Chill for 10 minutes to absorb flavors. It’s refreshing and grease-cutting, perfect paired with grilled meat or pasta.
Summary
The star of this Greek salad is the Geedel vegetable chopper. It cuts uniform, crisp veggie strips, and the built-in salad spinner ensures thorough drying to avoid sogginess. No need to buy a separate salad chopper—saves money and counter space. It’s a must-have side dish for light-eating tables!
