Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, washed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1/4 cup pickled red onions, (fresh sliced red onions will do just fine)

- 1 cup walnut pieces, toasted
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- Over medium heat, add the walnuts to a dry skillet and toast until they smell nutty and are slightly darkened in colour. Remove from heat and transfer to a wide, shallow bowl to cool completely. Set aside.
- Whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
- Add the sliced cucumber and onions to a large mixing bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the toasted walnuts, and add the rest to the bowl with the cucumber. Set aside two tablespoons of the feta and add the rest to the bowl with the cucumbers and walnuts.
- Poor over the olive oil mixture and toss well to coat.
- Plate and garnish with the remaining walnuts, feta, and some chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately or chill for one hour.
