- Pull whole mint leaves off the stems and add them to the bowl.

Notes
You can remove the seeds from the cucumber if you prefer. If the mint leaves are very large tear them into smaller pieces. If you don't want to cube the feta you can crumble it instead or get already crumbled feta.
Sub out the dressing for lemon juice and olive oil or balsamic vinegar and olive oil. For a little added sweetness use balsamic glaze.
