Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Persian cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
  • 1 medium ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic – peeled and minced
  • Salt and pepper – to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and drying your cucumbers well. Then chop each one in half. Place each half on your cutting board and use the flat side of your knife along with your hand to smash each cucumber. This fun step allows the flavors to soak in later! After smashing, chop them into 1-inch pieces and add them to a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Peel your ripe avocado and chop it into chunks. Gently place the avocado pieces into the bowl with the smashed cucumbers. The creaminess of the avocado pairs perfectly with the crunch from the cucumbers.
  3. Now, let’s bring in all those lovely flavors! Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped pistachios, fresh dill, and chives into the bowl. These ingredients not only add flavor but also beautiful colors that make this salad visually appealing.
  4. In a separate glass jar or bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until well mixed – this dressing is what ties all these delicious elements together!
  5. Pour that delightful dressing over your cucumber salad mixture. Gently toss everything together until combined. Feel free to sprinkle some more fresh herbs on top before serving; they add an extra pop of flavor!
