Ingredients

  • 1 medium Cucumber (seedless preferred, washed and sliced into half‑moons)
  • 100 g White Cheese (Feta or Egyptian Domiati) (crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp Crunchy Topping (fried onions or croutons) (store‑bought or homemade, adds texture)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (regular, smooth)
  • 1 tsp Hot Sauce (Harissa or chili sauce) (adjust heat to taste)
  • 1 pinch Salt (optional, to taste)
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper (freshly ground if possible)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber

    Wash the cucumber, trim the ends, and slice it into thin half‑moon pieces. Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt; let them sit for 2‑3 minutes to release excess water, then pat dry with a paper towel.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Crumble the cheese

    Take the white cheese and crumble it into small bite‑size pieces using your hands or a fork.

    Time: PT2M

  3. Make the zesty dressing

    In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

    Time: PT3M

  4. Assemble the jar

    Layer the cucumber slices at the bottom of the mason jar, followed by the crumbled cheese, then sprinkle the crunchy topping. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top, and finish with a final sprinkle of crunchy topping for extra texture.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Let flavors meld (optional)

    Close the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes if you prefer a cooler snack.

    Time: PT5M
