Greek Salad Revamped

This is an especially lazy summer salad. If light refreshment on a hot muggy day is what you require then this is the one. No stove (and no sweat) necessary,  just chopping & chucking. FYI the herbs are the dealbreaker here: if you can get your hands on fresh then great but if dried is the order of the day skip the mint and stick with just dried oregano, and it will be just as delish.

Ingredients
1 large cucumber
A couple of handfuls of cherry tomatoes, halved
A handful of black olives, pitted & halved
100g of Feta cheese, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Juice of half a lemon
A few freshly torn mint & oregano leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Method
Put everything apart from the cucumber into a large bowl. Use a veg peeler to turn the cucumber into fine ribbons, and chuck into the bowl with the rest on the ingredients. Season with black pepper. Toss and serve immediately
