  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: About 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups firm cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 cup red bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced into thin rounds
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tsp dried oregano (or fresh if available)
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water (filtered)
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cool running water. Slice cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers evenly.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and dried oregano. Stir until dissolved.
  3. Once the brine has cooled slightly, add chopped veggies into a large glass jar or bowl. Pour the brine over them until fully submerged.
  4. Seal or cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving; the longer they marinate, the better they taste.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle crumbled feta on top to maintain freshness.
