  • 4 pieces Persian cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
  • 1 medium ripe avocado

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers well. Chop each cucumber in half and smash each piece gently before chopping into one-inch pieces. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl.

  3. Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped pistachios, fresh dill, and chives into the bowl and mix well.
  4. In a separate jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until emulsified.
