Fabienne's Cucumber Salad: A Refreshing Summer Recipe

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
• 0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.13 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons low-fat Greek-style yogurt, or to taste
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 small tomatoes, quartered

Instructions

1. Place cucumber slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to release excess water.
2. Pat the cucumbers dry and transfer them to a large bowl. Add onion, pistachios, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir in Greek yogurt until well combined.
3. Arrange lettuce leaves in a serving bowl, then spoon the cucumber salad into the center. Garnish with fresh tomatoes around the edges. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
