Ingredients

Dip

• 2 large cucumbers
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 200g pack Mainland Creamy Feta Cheese
• extra virgin olive oil
• juice of 2 lemons
• cracked black pepper
• 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachio nuts
• 1/3 cup finely chopped dill or fennel fronds
• 1 teaspoon sumac (optional)

1. Place one of the cucumbers on a work surface. Lay the blade of a chef's knife flat on top of it and carefully press down using your fist or the palm of your hand. The cucumber skin will begin to crack and the flesh will break. Break or slice it diagonally into bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the second cucumber. 
2. Season the cucumber with salt and stir through. After a minute or so, drain any excess water from the cucumber. 
3. Place the Mainland Creamy Feta in a separate bowl and use a fork to mash thoroughly. Mix in 4-5 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, the lemon juice and a twist of cracked black pepper. 
4. Add the feta dressing to the bowl of cucumber. Then add the pistachios, dill, and sumac if using. 
5. Toss to combine and garnish with extra dill, cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
