feta & dill smashed cucumber salad

ingredients:

• 6-8 medium cucumbers

• 1/4 cup finely chopped dill

• 1/2 of a ripe avocado, diced

• 1/4 cup castelvetrano olives, halved

• 1/4 cup roasted pistachios, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup crumbled feta (i crumble mine from a block in brine)

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• sea salt to taste

directions:

chop the ends off the cucumbers, then cut each one in half longways. lay these halves flesh-side down on a cutting board. using the side of a knife, press down firmly to smash the cucumber. you’ll feel it break open and flatten a bit. cut each of these smashed halves into small pieces. dump into a large mixing bowl and coat with a generous amount of salt. toss and set aside.

chop up the dill, avocado, olives, pistachios, and feta. add these to the bowl with the cucumbers, then coat everything with the olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt. toss thoroughly to combine.

enjoy! this one is best served right away, when everything is super crispy :)
