Author Notes: I was fixing to make a favorite cucumber salad recipe when I realized I had not gotten enough cucumbers at the store. Instead, I used the one cucumber I had along with veggies and herbs on hand, and created this salad that we love much more than the recipe I planned to make. - katiebakes

Serves 4

1 english cucumber, quartered and sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/2 cup julienned carrot
1/2 cup cooked shelled edamame
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh fennel fronds
zest of one lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Place cucumber slices in a colander; salt well and let stand 30 minutes. Pat well with paper towels.
Combine all ingredients in a large serving bowl. Cover and chill at least one hour.
