Ingredients
- 5 Persian Cucumbers (cut into 1 inch coins)
- 1 Avocado (diced)
- ½ Cup Green Onions (finely sliced)
- ¾ Cup Feta Cheese (crumbled )
- ⅓ Cup Fresh Dill (finely chopped)
- ⅓ Cup Fresh Chives (finely chopped )
- ¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 Lemon (juiced)
- 2 Teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Method
- Blend the olive oil, honey, rice vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper until smooth, taste and adjust, then set the dressing aside.
- Cut the cucumbers into 1-inch coins and smash each one with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a cup until it cracks and flattens slightly.
- Press the cucumbers with a paper towel to remove as much excess moisture as you can so the salad stays crisp.
- Put the cucumbers in a large bowl with the avocado, green onions, feta, dill and chives.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently and serve right away for the best crunch.
