Cook time: 15 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 cucumbers smashed
• 100 grams feta cheese mashed
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0 black pepper to taste
• 50 grams pistachios roasted
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill

Instructions

1. Smash the cucumbers using the side of a knife or a rolling pin. Cut the smashed cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and place them in a salad bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mash the feta cheese with a fork. Mix in the lemon juice, olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.
3. Pour the mashed feta dressing over the smashed cucumbers and toss to combine.
4. Roast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are lightly browned and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Let them cool slightly and then roughly chop them.
