Fabienne’s Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cucumbers – peeled, seeded, and diced
• 1 pinch salt, or as needed
• 1 onion, diced
• 0.25 cup crushed pistachios, or to taste
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons low-fat Greek-style yogurt, or to taste
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 small tomatoes, quartered

Steps

1. Place cucumbers in a colander; sprinkle with salt. Set aside until cucumbers release water, about 30 minutes.
2. Pat cucumbers dry to remove excess salt; transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, pistachios, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; stir in yogurt until evenly mixed.
3. Arrange lettuce leaves in a serving bowl; add cucumber salad to middle of the bowl. Surround cucumber salad with tomatoes. Refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 30 minutes.
