Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Slice the cucumber thinly and marinate it in a mixture of 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice the Onion

    Finely slice the red onion and soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce its sharpness. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the marinated cucumber, sliced red onion, and crumbled ricotta salata. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette and toss gently.

  5. 5

    Add the Breadcrumbs

    Top the salad with bread crumbs for added texture and serve immediately.
