Our cucumber salad with feta, dill, pistachios and pickled onions is an amazing winter salad - it's got all great qualities that pair with any holiday menu.
First, quickly pickle the onion. To do this, add the Colavita vinegar and salt to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Once simmering, add in the minced red onion or shallot and remove from the heat. Let the onion steep and cool in the vinegar for 10-15 minutes.
In a large serving bowl combine the cucumbers, feta and pistachios.
Pour the onion and vinegar mixture over the top of the salad.
Drizzle with about 2 tbsp of Colavita olive oil and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Toss everything together until well coated. Garnish with fresh dill.
Serve.
