Cucumber Tapa

I tried these at AFIT recipe club. They were AMAZING!

serves 4

Ingredients:

    2 seedless cucumbers (about 1 lb each), peeled if waxy
     2 T extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tsp sherry vinegar
    2 oz. feta cheese, diced
    ¼ tsp kosher salt
     Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
     1 T fresh oregano leaves, chopped

Directions:

1.     Slice the cucumbers lengthwise, and remove any small seeds.  Cut 1 cucumber half into ¼-inch dice and transfer to a small bowl.  Add the olive oil, vinegar, feta cheese, salt, and pepper, and toss well to combine.  Add the oregano, and toss again.

2.     Use a vegetable peeler to remove 1 or 2 long strips of the peel (if the cucumber is already peeled, remove a strip of the flesh) from the underside of each of the remaining 3 cucumber halves so they will sit without tipping.  Spoon the cucumber-and-feta mixture into the long trough of each half.

3.     Slice cucumbers crosswise on a slight diagonal into 1½-inch pieces, and serve immediately.
