Ingredients

2 cups cucumber, thinly sliced
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped
2-3 tbsp feta, crumbled
2-3 tbsp cranberry pear vinaigrette (or any vinaigrette of choice)
Optional: cherry tomatoes, radishes, arugula, or microgreens

Instructions

In a large bowl, toss the cucumber slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Add the thyme, basil, and parsley; mix gently.
Fold in the pistachios and feta.
Drizzle with cranberry pear vinaigrette or your preferred dressing and toss lightly before serving.
Garnish with optional add-ins like cherry tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens if desired.

Notes

Keep the dressing separate if prepping ahead; the salad stays fresh for about a day. Chop the herbs and pistachios in advance for faster assembly. Lemon vinaigrette, balsamic, or honey mustard all work well in place of the cranberry-pear vinaigrette.
